DNA is double stranded and RNA is single Stranded.
DNA is made up of two strands.
During DNA replication, new DNA strands are synthesized in the 5' to 3' direction. This means that nucleotides are added to the growing strand starting at the 3' end and moving towards the 5' end.
The terms 5' and 3' in DNA structure refer to the carbon atoms in the sugar backbone of the DNA molecule. The 5' end has a phosphate group attached to the 5th carbon atom, while the 3' end has a hydroxyl group attached to the 3rd carbon atom. This directional orientation is important because DNA strands are antiparallel, meaning they run in opposite directions. This arrangement allows for the complementary base pairing between the strands, which is essential for DNA replication and protein synthesis.
DNA has a double helix structure, meaning it has two strands.
Helicase is an enzyme that unwinds the double-stranded DNA during replication, while polymerase is an enzyme that synthesizes new DNA strands by adding nucleotides to the template strand. In simpler terms, helicase unzips the DNA, while polymerase builds new strands.
10000 DNA strands.
DNA is made up of two strands.
At the beginning of DNA replication there are two strands of DNA nucleotides.
The site where the old DNA strands separate and new DNA strands are synthesized is called the replication fork. This is where the enzyme DNA polymerase adds nucleotides to the growing DNA strand.
The two strands of DNA are connected by hydrogen bonds.
This means the two strands of DNA are complementary.

Scientificamerican has a lot of information on DNA strands. There are also books available on eBay or Amazon that also provides more information on DNA strands.

No, DNA replication does not take place in the same direction along both strands of the DNA. It occurs in opposite directions on the two strands, known as the leading and lagging strands.
