2 DNA polynucleotide strands join together by hydrogen bonds between the bases.
each base can only join with one particular partner- this is called specific pairing.
Adenine always pairs with Thymine (A-T) and Guanine always pairs with Cytosine (G-C).
the two strands wind up to form the DNA double-helix.
the double-helix structure means DNA is very stable in the cell. :) x
What else can I help you with?
What is the connecting element between the pairs of strands that form the double helix of DNA?
The connecting element between the pairs of strands that form the double helix of DNA is hydrogen bonds.
Single helix is more stable as compared to the double helix?
The double helix of DNA is more stable than a single helix due to the hydrogen bonding between complementary base pairs and the structural support provided by the sugar-phosphate backbone. The double helix structure allows for efficient storage and replication of genetic information.
What are sides of a double helix made of?
The sides of a double helix are made of repeating units of sugar and phosphate molecules, which make up the backbone of the DNA molecule. These sugar-phosphate backbones are connected by hydrogen bonds between the nitrogenous bases, forming the characteristic twisting structure of the DNA double helix.
How is double helix used in a sentence?
Double Helix the structure of double coiled DNA
What word describes the shape of a DNA molecule?
Its actually two wi=ords; Thehy are 'Double Helix'.
How can you tell the difference between the original and replicated part of each chromosome?
In late anaphase and G1 of interphase, a chromosome is unreplicated and consists of a single DNA double helix. A replicated chromosome contains two identical DNA double helices.
What are the two strands of a double stranded chromosome called?
The two strands of a double-stranded chromosome are called chromatids. Each chromatid contains a single DNA molecule that is duplicated and bound to its sister chromatid at the centromere.
Which one is the smaller structure chromosome supercoil coil nuucleosome or double helix?
The smallest structure among the options provided is the double helix, which is the structure of DNA at its core. The double helix consists of two strands of nucleotides wound around each other in a helical shape. The other structures mentioned - chromosome, supercoil, and nucleosome - are made up of multiple DNA molecules or DNA-related proteins and are larger in comparison.
what is the shape of a DNA?
double helix
How many DNA molecules are in a chromosomes?
There is one double helix DNA molecule per chromosome.
What unwinds the parental double helix for DNA and whats is the relationship between genes and DNA?
The enzyme Helicase A gene is a small segment of DNA
What is the difference between single gene DNA and repetitive sequences of DNA?
DNA is double Helix But A Gene is a part of that double helix.
How do helicases unwind a double helix?
Helicase uses free energy from ATP to break the hydrogen bonds between the double helix of the DNA. It breaks the bonds between adenine and thymine, and guanine and cytosine. This unzips the double helix structure.
What is the connecting element between the pairs of strands that form the double helix of DNA?
The connecting element between the pairs of strands that form the double helix of DNA is hydrogen bonds.
Single helix is more stable as compared to the double helix?
The double helix of DNA is more stable than a single helix due to the hydrogen bonding between complementary base pairs and the structural support provided by the sugar-phosphate backbone. The double helix structure allows for efficient storage and replication of genetic information.
What is the shape of the DNA molecule known as?
Double Helix :D
How the use of bonds holds the double helix together?
Generally hydrogen bonds between the different base pairs holds the double helix together.
