Thymine is a nitrogen base that is wound up inside the double helix of DNA. It pairs with Adenine.
Given that DNA base pairing rules state that cytosine pairs with guanine and adenine pairs with thymine, for every cytosine there must be one guanine. Therefore, if there are 45 cytosines, there must also be 45 guanines.
Since DNA base pairs always have an equal amount of adenine and thymine, if there are 45 cytosines, there would also be 45 guanines. Therefore, the number of adenines would be equal to the number of thymines, making it 100 - 45 - 45 = 10 adenines.
The four bases of the DNA ladder are adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G). These bases pair up in a complementary way (A with T and C with G) to form the rungs of the DNA double helix.
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.
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.
Hydrogen Bonds Adenine, Thymines, Guaines, and Cytosines.
thymines, guanines, adenines, and cytosines
Photolyases repair thymine dimers by using visible light energy to break the covalent bonds formed between adjacent thymine bases in the DNA strand. This process, called photoreactivation, restores the original structure of the DNA molecule by splitting the thymine dimer back into individual thymines.
what are 4 bases that make up the rungs of the DNA ladder
Given that DNA base pairing rules state that cytosine pairs with guanine and adenine pairs with thymine, for every cytosine there must be one guanine. Therefore, if there are 45 cytosines, there must also be 45 guanines.
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.
In DNA, adenine always pairs with thymine. Therefore, in each DNA model, the number of adenine molecules will be equal to the number of thymine molecules. The exact count of adenines and thymines will depend on the length of the DNA strand in the model.
I just did this paper in Biology, the answer is Hydrogen bonds! :)
uracil but that's in rna its thymine in DNA
