What is a cell's complement of DNA called?
Be more clear with your question please. The complement of a single strand of DNA is the other strand. The complement to the single DNA strand "ATCGGTA" would be "TAGCCAT" The mRNA complement of the DNA strand ATCGGTA is UAGCCAU The tRNA anticodon of the DNA strand ATCGGTA is UTCGGTU Hope that helps A cell's endovment of DNA, its genetic information is called its genome
There is a y shaped replication fork on each side of each replication bubble what are the sides of the replication fork called?
One is known as the Leading strand, and the other is known as the Lagging strand.
What is lagging strand in replication of DNA?
The two strands of DNA in animal cells are arranged backwards to each other - the start of one is paired with the ending of the other. However, the enzyme that replicates DNA (DNA polymerase) can only work from start to finish. On one strand, DNA polymerase can work front to back in a continuous chain - the strand that allows this is called the leading strand because it "leads" in completion status. On the other strand, the DNA polymerase has to work backwards in pieces and then put the pieces back together into a single chain - the strand that causes this is called the lagging strand because it "lags behind" the other in completion status.
What is DNA sense?
The plus strand is the same as the sense strand and can also be called the coding or non-template strand. This is the strand that has the same sequence as the mRNA (except it has Ts instead of Us). The other strand, called the template, minus, or antisense strand, is complementary to the mRNA. Gotta love the use of 4 names to describe the same thing. Ah science, why do you torment us?
At each replication fork one new strand of DNA is made of many small pieces. what is the strand of DNA called?
When the two parent strands of DNA are separated to begin replication, one strand is oriented in the 5' to 3' direction while the other strand is oriented in the 3' to 5' direction. DNA replication, however, is inflexible: the enzyme that carries out the replication, DNA polymerase, only functions in the 5' to 3' direction. This characteristic of DNA polymerase means that the daughter strands synthesize through different methods, one adding nucleotides one by one in the direction of the replication fork, the other able to add nucleotides only in chunks. The first strand, which replicates nucleotides one by one is called the leading strand; the other strand, which replicates in chunks, is called the lagging strand. The lagging strand replicates in small segments, called Okazaki fragments. These fragments are stretches of 100 to 200 nucleotides in humans (1000 to 2000 in bacteria).
What is the single long strand that comes out of the other side of the cells body is called what?
not the axon

not the axon
Which structure is responsible for stabilizing DNA in its single-strand form?
To stabilize DNA in its single-strand form a single-strand DNA-binding protein or SSB is required. The SSB removes secondary structures from the DNA allowing the effective functioning of other enzymes on it, prevents any premature annealing and stops nucleases from digesting the single-strand DNA.

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.
If you had a small single strand of DNA with the nucleotide sequence cagtact what would the sequence be for the other DNA strand?
gcgtatagtccg is the DNA compliment

One strand of dna faces the opposite direction of the other strand?
Yes, this is called antiparallel. CGTACC GCATGG Like that.
Each half of the DNA strand. Why is DNA called the double helix?
DNA is called a double-helix because it consists of two strands that spiral around each other. A spiral shape is also called a helix, and there're two of them, so it's a double-helix.

What do single stranded binding proteins do?
When double stranded DNA is unwound into single stranded DNA, single-strand binding proteins bind to each single stranded DNA strand and prevent the two strands from reattaching to each other, allowing DNA replication to continue.
