Adeninine - Thiamine and Guanine - Cytosine pairs.

∙ 11y agoThe rungs of the DNA ladder would be made up of nitrogenous bases. There are four nitrogenous bases in DNA - Thymine binds to Adenine and Guanine binds to Cysteine. These bases join together to meet in the centre of the DNA helix - making the 'rungs'.

The structure of a DNA molecule resembles the shape of a twisted ladder. In this model which part of the ladder is made of sugars and phosphates?
Each strand is made up of a chain of nucleotides.The two strands are held together by hydrogen bonds between adenine and thymine and between guanine and cytosine. The hydrogen bonds of DNA are analogous to the rungs of a twisted ladder. The sugar-phosphate backbones of the double helix are analogous to the sides of a twisted ladder.
What structure in DNA and RNA is similar?
helical staircase A double rung helical Staircase; in the form of a spiral ladder (10.3 rungs per turn).
What is the shape of a DNA molecule formed when two twisted DNA strands are coiled into a springlike structure and held together by hydrogen bonds between the bases?
double helix
Which best describes the structure of a DNA molecule-?
a double helix- apex
What is the backbone of a DNA Molecule?
The DNA backbone is also called the sugar-phosphate backbone - the deoxyribose sugars (with, among other elements, 5 carbon atoms) and phosphates (PO4--) conjoin together in a [very strong due to the electronegativity of the Oxygens] chain.Sugars and PhosphatesA sugar (deoxyribose, a sugar with, among other elements, 5 carbon atoms) and phosphates to bond them together.

Why is the structure of a DNA molecule described as a twisted zipper?
because the shape is a double helix. so it looks like a zipper and connects to each other.
What structure in DNA and RNA is similar?
helical staircase A double rung helical Staircase; in the form of a spiral ladder (10.3 rungs per turn).
DNA structure is compared to a ladder What molecular component would be analogous to the rungs of the ladder?
DNA code is simple in structure.The double helix structure of the DNA molecule is like a long ladder twisted into a spiral.
What is the shape of a DNA molecule formed when two twisted DNA strands are coiled into a springlike structure and held together by hydrogen bonds between the bases?
double helix
This is the structure of DNA as first published by James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953.?
That DNA molecule is a double helix-two strands twisted around each other, like a winding staircase
What general shape does this fragment of DNA resemble?
The DNA molecules resembles a twisted step ladder
What could the DNA molecule be compared to?
twisted rope ladder
What is the DNA twisted structure called?
AnswerThe "twisted ladder" shape of DNA is called a double helix.
Why the DNA molecule is compared with a twisted ladder?
the whole DNA strand looks like a twisted ladder. the molecules are on the strand.
