At each replication fork one new strand of DNA is made of many small pieces. what is the strand of DNA called?

When the two parent strands of DNA are separated to begin replication, one strand is oriented in the 5' to 3' direction while the other strand is oriented in the 3' to 5' direction. DNA replication, however, is inflexible: the enzyme that carries out the replication, DNA polymerase, only functions in the 5' to 3' direction. This characteristic of DNA polymerase means that the daughter strands synthesize through different methods, one adding nucleotides one by one in the direction of the replication fork, the other able to add nucleotides only in chunks. The first strand, which replicates nucleotides one by one is called the leading strand; the other strand, which replicates in chunks, is called the lagging strand. The lagging strand replicates in small segments, called Okazaki fragments. These fragments are stretches of 100 to 200 nucleotides in humans (1000 to 2000 in bacteria).


What are the sense portions of a pre-mRNA strand made in transcription called?

The sense portions of a pre-mRNA strand made in transcription are called exons. Exons contain the coding sequences that will be eventually translated into proteins. Non-coding sequences within the pre-mRNA, called introns, are removed during RNA processing to produce the mature mRNA molecule.


What are the two DNA strands?

The two DNA strands are the coding (sense) strand and the template (antisense) strand. The coding strand carries the genetic information for protein synthesis, while the template strand is used to transcribe messenger RNA.


Which of these show is the correct complementary strand of DNA that would be made during DNA replication based on this template strand ATCGGCTACGTACCTA?

Gca ta


When DNA functions as genes first a single strand of what is made?

When DNA functions as genes, first a single strand of mRNA (messenger RNA) is made through a process called transcription. This mRNA contains the genetic information necessary to produce proteins during the process of translation.

Is embroidery floss the same as embroidery thread?

No , embroidery thread comes in single strands of various sizes and are sold wrapped around spools similar to sewing thread. Most Embroidery threads are smooth, tight made to be used with machines. Floss is two to six strands loosely twisted , and are sold in hanks when a hank is wrapped in a loose coil then it is called a Skein. (some two strand flosses are sold in spools) the main difference between a strand of thread and a strand of floss is the tightness of the twisting which adds strength. a single strand of thread is harder, firmer to the touch a single floss softer in sewing a single strand of cotton floss will often break where a similar cotton embroidery thread will not.

A long thread like molecule that includes genes?

DNA is a very long strand of a molecules, made up of four bases connected in pairs and spiraling into a double helix. Sequences of these bases are what make up genes.


What is difference between plastics and fiber?

The difference between plastics and fibers is how they are made. Plastic is made by melting particles together. Fiber is made by weaving materials together like cotton thread. Plastic is nonporous and fiber is porous.


What are the thread-like bodies which are only visible during cell division and it contains the basic unit of heredity?

Those theread like bodies are called as chromosomes. You have 23 pairs of them in your body cells. They are made up of DNA thread. Very important branch of science deals with chromosomes called as genetics.


Which simple machines are made of other simple machines?

screws have something called a thread, and this thread wraps around the screw. You can call the thread a kind of ramp, because this thread prevents the screw from falling off.
