DNA vs RNA?

DNA is more stable than RNA. DNA is double-stranded and forms a double helix. RNA is usually single-stranded and folds back on itself to form stem-loop structures. RNA has 2'-OH group that can participate in intramolecular reactions, facilitating hydrolysis.


Why is B-DNA more stable than A-DNA in solution please explain in detail?

Because of the stability of its riboses. In A-DNA there is a 3C- in Endo position which makes the phosphate near the upper phosphate. This produces more repulsion between chains and it could be a reason of why is more unstable A than B. In B-DNA the 3C is in Exo position ( C2 is in ENDO) and is because of that that phosphates are more farther in these conformation, allowing to get more stable interactions between chains. Hope it helps!! Robert Ramirez


When one dna molecule replicated the result is two dna molecules what is true of the second dna molecule?

DNA actually has 3 forms. A-DNA, B-DNA, and Z-DNA. B-DNA is the kind you are most familiar with and present in most organisms. A-DNA can be found in dehydrated samples while Z-DNA is rare and mostly synthesized in the lab.


Has the structure of DNA changed over time?

Although there are three forms of DNA that have been discovered (A form, B form and the Z form), the structure of DNA itself is the same in all organisms. DNA may be packed differently or may contain additional chemical groups attached to the bases (like methylated DNA). However, the structure of DNA is similar in all organisms. This is the reason why it has been named the molecule of life.

What is the most common form of DNA found in organisms?

I believe there is only one form of DNA. There are numerous forms of RNA. The least common RNA molecule is tRNA as it is stimulated by the protein synthesis cycle and is only produced at certain times.


Does helium atom like to b e by itself?

Yes, helium, like the other noble gasses, is most stable in the form of individual atoms.

What is the difference between Z-DNA and B-DNA?

Z-DNA is usually found in areas with alternating purine and pyrimidine bases (ie. -ATATAT- ). When you look at it from the side, Z-DNA zig-zags toward the top left of the page/screen (This is essentially what it means when you read "left-handed helical form"), compared to B-DNA ("right-handed") which spins toward the top right. If you look at the top looking down the center of the molecule, B-DNA has no hole in the center (like in A-DNA) and is arranged with the bases in the middle, then the sugar, and then finally the phosphate backbone is at the edges. Z-DNA also lacks a hole in the center, but due to the zig-zagging structure, there is no definite area to locate the bases, sugar, and phosphate backbone -- they are all jumbled up together.
