DNA is double stranded. It is described as a double helix, kind of like a twisted ladder.

Is DNA a single strand of nucleotides?

No, DNA is a double-stranded molecule composed of nucleotides. Each strand has a specific sequence of four different nucleotides: adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine. These two strands are connected by hydrogen bonds to form the double helix structure of DNA.


Double strand DNA separation from single strand DNA in centrifuge?

To separate double strand DNA from single strand DNA in a centrifuge, you can use a process called density gradient centrifugation. By loading a sample containing both types of DNA onto a gradient with increasing density, such as a cesium chloride gradient, the double strand DNA and single strand DNA will migrate to different positions in the tube based on their densities. After centrifugation, the different forms of DNA can be collected separately based on their position in the gradient.


How can one differentiate between single strand DNA and double strand DNA?

One can differentiate between single-strand DNA and double-strand DNA by treating with exonuclease I which specifically digests only ssDNA. Note. For verification, the products have to be run on polyacrylamide gels with appropriate controls.

What is the difference of ssDNA and dsDNA?

ssDNA means a single strand of DNA and dsDNA is double strand of DNA. Many viruses have one or the other.


Which explains how a probe can find a single-standard target DNA gene?

The probe is the second strand of DNA that forms double-stranded DNA with the target gene.


If DNA is described as a double helix how should mRNA be described-?

mRNA is like a single strand instead of a double strand. If DNA is like a twisted ladder, then mRNA is like a single half of that ladder, with only half the bases.


How many strand does DNA have?

DNA is double stranded (2 strands). However, it is noted that there are some viruses with single-stranded DNA.


What is a single strand of DNA used for DNA testing called?

A single strand of DNA used for DNA testing is called PCR


How does shape of RNA differ from the shape of DNA?

It typically forms a single sometimes twisted strand, not a double helix like DNA.

What is a long loose strand of DNA typical for the nucleus of a cell?

The chromatids are the threadlike strands that chromosomes of DNA take during cell division. Each of these consists of a single long strand of DNA double-helix.


Does DNA virus has chromosomes?

No. It is a single strand of DNA.
