What else can I help you with?
The bases are paired by what bonds along the axis of the molecule?
The bases in DNA are paired by hydrogen bonds along the axis of the molecule. Adenine pairs with thymine (or uracil in RNA) through two hydrogen bonds, while guanine pairs with cytosine through three hydrogen bonds.
What type of bonds holds the nitrogenous bases together in the DNA molecule?
your teacher will probably accept hydrogen bonds, however it is more of an attraction not a physical bond
Do polypeptide bonds hold nitrogen bases together?
The nitrogen bases, adenine, uracil, guanine, thymine and cytosine are joined to each other via phosphodiester bonds. Hydrogen bonds hold the nitrogen bases in complementary DNA and RNA strands. Polypeptide bonds are formed between an amide and ketone, and these join amino acids in proteins. However, they do not hold nitrogen bases together.
What type of bond holds the two sides of the DNA molecule together?
DNA is a double-stranded molecule twisted into a helix (think of a spiral staircase). Each spiraling strand, comprised of a sugar-phosphate backbone and attached bases, is connected to a complementary strand by non-covalent hydrogen bonding between paired bases. The bases are adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C) and guanine (G). A and T are connected by two hydrogen bonds. G and C are connected by three hydrogen bonds.
What type of bond holds together the base pairs in a DNA helix?
Hydrogen Bonds are the bonds that hold the complimentary bases together. G to C and A to T. However the bonds that hold the nucleotides together on each side of the double helix are called Phosphodiester bonds or linkages.
What are the DNA bases paired by?
The paired bases are held together by hydrogen bonds. Refer to the related link below for an illustration.
By what bonds are the bases paired in DNA?
The bases in DNA are paired by hydrogen bonds.
What type of bond keeps the bases paired toghter?
Hydrogen bonds are the type of bond that keeps the bases paired together in a DNA molecule. These bonds form between the complementary bases adenine-thymine and guanine-cytosine.
The bases are paired by what bonds along the axis of the molecule?
The bases in DNA are paired by hydrogen bonds along the axis of the molecule. Adenine pairs with thymine (or uracil in RNA) through two hydrogen bonds, while guanine pairs with cytosine through three hydrogen bonds.
What kind of chemical bond is found between paired base of DNA double helix?
Hydrogen bonds form between the paired bases of the DNA double helix. These bonds are relatively weak individually, but collectively they help hold the two strands of DNA together in a stable helical structure.
What holds together the 2 strands of DNA?
Hydrogen bonds
How are the two bases linked together in DNA?
Thymine and adenine! Also guanine and uracil.
Bases of DNA are linked together by intermolecular forces are called?
The two strands of DNA are linked together by hydrogen bonds which occur between the nitrogen bases opposite one another along the molecule.
What describes the paring of DNA bases?
Complimentary base pairs are paired as: A with T by 2 hydrogen bonds. C with G by 3 hydrogen bonds.
How the bases bond together?
A bonds with TG bonds with CT bonds with AC bonds with G
What type of bonds holds the bases together in pairs?
Hydrogen bonds hold the bases together in pairs in DNA. These bonds form between the nitrogenous bases adenine and thymine, and guanine and cytosine in a complementary manner, contributing to the overall stability and structure of the DNA molecule.
What are the pairs of nitrogen basses in DNA?
The pairs of nitrogen bases in DNA are adenine paired with thymine, and guanine paired with cytosine. These pairs are held together by hydrogen bonds, forming the complementary base pairs that make up the DNA double helix structure.
