. How are complementary strands of DNA held together?
Complementary strands of DNA are held together by hydrogen bonds connecting complementary bases.
Te multiple relatively weak bonds between complementary nitrogenous bases that hold double stranded DNA together are known as?
Hydrogen bonds.
What holds DNA bases together?
The bonds of the atom are covalent where as the bonds between the base pairs are hydrogen.
Which type of chemical bonding holds the two strands of DNA together in the double helix?
When two strands of DNA that have exactly complementary base pairing (Adenine bonds with only Thymine, and Cytosine with Guanine) the base forms a hydrogen bond to the base on the opposite strand, only if the base pairing is complementary. So, in short the double helix form is held together by hydrogen bonds between the bases present on the strand. This means as the two strands are split apart, a new complimentary strand is formed against each, resulting in two identical double helices where there was just one before. It is by this means that the instructions for the code of life are copied and passed on.
What kinds of bonds are broken between N-bases when DNA unzips during replication?
Hydrogen bonds (H-bonds) are broken between the nitrogenous bases when the two strands of DNA separate. These bonds are not as strong as the covalent bonds holding together the sugar and phosphate in the backbone, so the H-bonds break first.
What enzymes unwinding DNA double helix by breaking the hydrogen bonds to separate the complementary strands?
Helicase
Enzymes that open the double helix by breaking hydrogen bonds between nitrogen bases is what?
Helicase.
. How are complementary strands of DNA held together?
Complementary strands of DNA are held together by hydrogen bonds connecting complementary bases.
What bonds do helicase and polymerase enzymes break?
I would say Hydrogen Bond.
True or false Helicases unwind the double helix of DNA by breaking the nitrogen bonds that link the hydrogen bases?
Hydrogen bonds.
Te multiple relatively weak bonds between complementary nitrogenous bases that hold double stranded DNA together are known as?
Hydrogen bonds.
Th multiple relatively weak bonds between complementary nitrogenous bases that hold double stranded DNA together are known as what?
Hydrogen Bonds D For PLATO
What is double complementary?
Its an mathematical term
How can you recognize design in DNA?
dna is a double stranded structure consisting of two complementary strands which are held together by hydrogen bonding between the base pairs of the two strands
Why is it advantageous to have weak hydrogen bonds between complementary pairs?
So the double helix can be easily unzipped by helicase so DNA polymerase can replicate on one strand of DNA.
Which bases are complementary to one another how are they held together in the double helix of DNA?
Adenine binds to Thymine Guanine binds to Cytosine Hydrogen bonding holds the bases together.
Which event takes plac first during DNA replication?
7:00 pm.
