There are two strands of DNA in a DNA double helix, each consisting of many nucleotide subunits. They are like building blocks that make up the DNA molecule, which would then be like a block tower. A 'strand of nucleotides' as you put it would basically be a DNA molecule (if they are deoxyribose nucleotides) or if they are ribose nucleotides, they would be a RNA molecule. DNA can come in double stranded helices (most of the time) or can be single stranded (as in some viruses).

The enzyme that adds new nucleotides to each side of a replicating DNA molecule is?

DNA polymerase is the enzyme that adds new nucleotides to each side of a replicating DNA molecule. It catalyzes the synthesis of new DNA strands by adding complementary nucleotides to the existing template strands during DNA replication.


How can you tell the difference between a DNA molecule undergoing transcription and being replicated?
