DNA is made up of two strands. Each strand has one of four bases on it. These are adenine, thymine, guanine and cytosine. On the other strand will be a matching pair. Adenine will match up with thymine and guanine will match up with cytosine. To make it easier, we just say A matches with T and G matches with C. On RNA "T" or thymine is replaced by uracil "U". In this case everything remains the same except now U matches up with A.
What else can I help you with?
What molecules make up the rungs of a DNa ladder?
purines, pyrimidines, nucleotides and nitrogen bases.
How are the 2 nucleotide strands connected?
The two nucleotide strands in DNA are connected by hydrogen bonds between complementary base pairs: adenine (A) with thymine (T), and guanine (G) with cytosine (C). These base pairs create the double-helix structure of DNA.
Adenine is to thymine as guanine is to?
Cytosine. In DNA base pairing, adenine pairs with thymine, while guanine pairs with cytosine. This forms the complementary base pairs that make up the double helix structure of DNA.
What are the correct base pairing rules of the DNA?
The correct base pairing rules in DNA are adenine (A) pairing with thymine (T) and cytosine (C) pairing with guanine (G). This forms the complementary base pairs that make up the double helix structure of DNA.
What two things make up a chromosome?
Chromosomes are comprised of nucleotides and nitrogen base pairs. The nucleotides make up the columns of the DNA structure, and are repeating sequences of a 5-carbon sugar and a phosphate. The "rungs" of the DNA structure, similar to the rungs (steps) of a ladder, and made up of four variations of nitrogen base pairs.
What are the lungs of the DNA ladder made of?
The "lungs" of the DNA ladder refer to the base pairs that connect the two strands of the DNA double helix. These base pairs are made up of nitrogenous bases: adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T), and cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G). The sides of the ladder are formed by the sugar-phosphate backbone, while the base pairs act as the rungs, providing the structure and integrity of the DNA molecule.
What is a molecule that appears on pairs of a DNA strand?
Something that would appear in pairs on a DNA strand would be a base. The bases are made up of different parts: A:Adenine C:Cytosine G:Guarnine T:Thymine
Purine base that pairs up with thymine and uracil?
Adenine is the purine base that pairs up with thymine in DNA and with uracil in RNA.
What molecules make up the rungs of a DNa ladder?
purines, pyrimidines, nucleotides and nitrogen bases.
What makes up the inside ladder part of the DNA?
The Base Pairs
How are the 2 nucleotide strands connected?
The two nucleotide strands in DNA are connected by hydrogen bonds between complementary base pairs: adenine (A) with thymine (T), and guanine (G) with cytosine (C). These base pairs create the double-helix structure of DNA.
What is DNA in your body?
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is a molecule made up of an elaborate arrangement of the base pairs adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine. Each specific arrangement of these base pairs in the molecule account for every trait that a living being possesses. More simply, DNA is the blueprint for life.
What base does guanine pair whit?
Guanine pairs up with cytosine in both DNA and RNA while adenine pairs up with thymine in DNA only.
Adenine is to thymine as guanine is to?
Cytosine. In DNA base pairing, adenine pairs with thymine, while guanine pairs with cytosine. This forms the complementary base pairs that make up the double helix structure of DNA.
One DNA molecule in a single human cell is made up of about billion base pairs?
One human cell typically contains a double-stranded DNA molecule with around 6 billion base pairs. This DNA is organized into 23 pairs of chromosomes located in the cell nucleus. Each base pair consists of two nucleotides that form the building blocks of DNA, namely adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine.
Why can you predict the base of one strand in a molecule of DNA if you know the sequence of the other strands?
in DNA, each base pairs up with only one other base
What are the correct base pairing rules of the DNA?
The correct base pairing rules in DNA are adenine (A) pairing with thymine (T) and cytosine (C) pairing with guanine (G). This forms the complementary base pairs that make up the double helix structure of DNA.
