How many sugar phosphate backbones does a double helix have?
It has two, the reason being is that it has to form into the famous "twisting" pose.
The structure of DNA is described as a?
Double helix - with a deoxyribose (sugar) and phosphate backbone, and nitrogenous bases in the centre.
The arrangement of two bases in the DNA molecule forms a?
All i know is that it forms a double helix
What is a single helix molecule?
A DNA molecule has the shape of a double-stranded helix.
Does DNA have bases on the interior of the double helix?
Yes. Indeed, while the Exterior of DNA is the sugar-phosphate backbone, the Interior of the DNA double-helix is where the [nucleotide] bases reside.
One reason DNA chains twist into a double helix is for the purpose of what?
DNA chain twists so that the bases are closer together in the double helix. The DNA chain also takes up less space this way.
What is the name for the DNA structure?
Normally, DNA forms a right-handed double helix but it can also come in other forms.
How are the two chains of a double helix held together?
hydrogen bonds hold it together
What is Watson and Crick's DNA model?
DNA is a double helix made of two strands linked together with hydrogen bonds.
what is the shape of a DNA?
double helix
Individual chains of the DNA double helix are made up of molecules called?
nucleotides
How does a single DNA molecule produce two identical molecules?
Two single chains bond together. The bonded chains twist together to form a double helix.
What is the shape of the DNA molecule known as?
Double Helix :D
DNA exists as two long chains of molecules twisted around each other in a structure called a?
double helix ramon c.
What type of structure is the DNA?
Double Helix
How does the double helix structure of RNA resemble the structure of DNA?
First of all, RNA is a single helix. It isn't really similar to the DNA in the obvious shape. In DNA there two long polynucleotides chins which are right handed double helix. the chains are antiparallel to each other. while in RNA there is only a single chain.
What molecule has the shape of a double strand helix?
DNA, and the shape is also known as a double helix.
