If there are 45 cytosines and 55 thymines how many guanines are there?
C and G always are the same number. So since there are 45 cytosine, there has to be 45 guanine.Since there are 55 thymine, there has to be 55 adenine since those numbers are also the same.
What are the 4 bases of the DNA ladder?
Adenine,Thymine,Guanine,and Cytosine. Adenine and thymine pair up and guanine and cytosine pair up.
What are the middle rungs of the DNA ladder made of?
The rungs of the ladder are pairs of 4 types of nitrogen bases (thymines, adenines, guanines, cytosines).---The pairs are guanine and cytosine (G-C), or adenine and thymine (A-T).The rungs of the dna ladder are made of alternating sugars and phosophate groups.
Abbreviation for the disease in which one of the enzymes needed to repair sunlight damsaged DNA is missing?
Ultra violet radiation from sunlight causes Pyrimidines in DNA to bind together in a way they aren't supposed to. This binding most often occurs between two thymines creating a thymine dimer. The dimer must be cut out of the DNA strand and replaced in a process called Nucleotide Excision Repair. In the disorder Xeroderma pigmentosum (abbreviated XP) one or more of the excision repair enzymes is missing leading to extreme sensitivity to sunlight and high likelihood of skin cancer.
What sequence of bases would be complementary to A-G-C-T-A?
DNA:T-C-G-A-TmRNA:U-C-G-A-UmRNA rule: switch T with U_________________________________________Although the above answer is correct in that there are no thymines (T) in RNA, I must disagree with the rest of the answer. The mRNA strand given in the answer above would be the identical strand made from RNA, not the complementary strand as the question asked for.A complementary strand is produced by an RNA or DNA polymerase from a template DNA strand.Therefore, if the template DNA strand were T-C-G-A-T, then:The complementary DNA strand would be A-G-C-T-AThe complementary RNA strand would be A-G-C-U-A
What are the four bases of making up the rungs of the DNA ladder?
thymines, guanines, adenines, and cytosines
What are the repeating units in DNA called?
Hydrogen Bonds Adenine, Thymines, Guaines, and Cytosines.
If there are 45 cytosines and 55 thymines how many guanines are there?
C and G always are the same number. So since there are 45 cytosine, there has to be 45 guanine.Since there are 55 thymine, there has to be 55 adenine since those numbers are also the same.
What does photolyases do to thymine diamers?
Photolyases, also known as light-repair enzymes, use visible light energy to separate the dimer back to the original two thymines.
What are the 4 bases that make up the rung of the DNA ladder?
what are 4 bases that make up the rungs of the DNA ladder
Which RNA has thymine?
uracil but that's in rna its thymine in DNA
Which type of physical mutagens produce tymine dimers?
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a type of physical mutagen that can produce thymine dimers. Thymine dimers are formed when adjacent thymines in the DNA strand become covalently linked, leading to DNA damage and potential mutations.
How are nucleotides joined together within a single DNA strand?
I just did this paper in Biology, the answer is Hydrogen bonds! :)
What are the 4 bases of the DNA ladder?
Adenine,Thymine,Guanine,and Cytosine. Adenine and thymine pair up and guanine and cytosine pair up.
What are the middle rungs of the DNA ladder made of?
