If the DNA were to break at any other point, you could not replicate the bases. The bases must be split so that the proteins can run down the broken bases and complete them with the base that used to be attached.

What type of bonds for between the bases?

Hydrogen bonds form between the bases in DNA molecules. These bonds specifically link adenine with thymine, and guanine with cytosine in a complementary manner.


How are base pairs held together in DNA molecules?

Base pairs in DNA molecules are held together by hydrogen bonds between the nitrogenous bases.


How do bases separate in water?

Bases dissociate in water to form hydroxide ions (OH-) which can then bond with water molecules to form hydroxyl ions (OH-) and release positively charged ions. This process is called ionization.


What type of molecules are bonded together by hydrogen bonds in DNA?

Nitrogenous bases are held together by hydrogen bonds, thus making them easier to separate during DNA replication.


The two strands of DNA molecules are held together by?

hydrogen bonds between complementary nitrogenous bases.


Are nitrogen bases molecules?

yes it is


The bases of the two DNA chains are linked in the middle of molecules by?

Complementary bases in DNA are held together via hydrogen bonds. Between G and C there are three hydrogen bonds and between A and T there are two hydrogen bonds.


Where can hydrogen bond be found in living organisms?

Hydrogen bonds can be found in many aspects of living organisms, such as in the structure of DNA double helix, in the folding of proteins, and in the interactions between different molecules within cells. These bonds are important for maintaining the structure and function of biological molecules.


Which base pair is harder to separate?

C and G are harder to separate than A and T because 3 hydrogen bonds exist between the bases C and G while only 2 hydrogen bonds exist between A and T.


What does the number of T nitrogen bases in DNA molecules equals the number of what?

A molecules
