The back-bone of DNA is called 'the sugar-phosphate backbone' because: the ribose [or the 2' [two-prime] deoxy-ribose] sugars that 'make up' the backbone binding portion of the (one of four) nucleotide bases is interlaced with the phosphate moieties.
Compare to adding N to the C chain to gain strength.
What else can I help you with?
Is MgPO4 a ionic or covalent bond?
Magnesium Phosphate is an ionic molecule, it has a positively charged metal (Magnesium) and a negatively charged nonmetal portion (phosphate group) with a net zero charge since the charges cancel each other out.
How do you make Trisodium phosphate?
Trisodium phosphate (TSP) is made by neutralizing phosphoric acid with sodium hydroxide to form a soluble salt. The resulting mixture is then further processed to isolate and purify the Trisodium phosphate crystals.
The phosphate portion of a phospholipid is?
The phosphate portion of a phospholipid is hydrophilic, meaning it interacts readily with water due to its polar nature. It is located on the head of the phospholipid molecule, along with other polar groups, forming the hydrophilic "head" of the molecule. This is in contrast to the nonpolar hydrophobic tails of the phospholipid, which cluster together in the interior of cell membranes away from water.
What can the head of a phospholipid be described as?
The head of a phospholipid can be described as hydrophilic, meaning that it is attracted to water. This portion of the molecule tends to interact with water molecules, while the tail portion of a phospholipid is hydrophobic and repels water.
What is the coding region in DNA transcription?
The coding region in DNA transcription is called the gene. It contains the specific sequence of nucleotides that encode for a protein or functional RNA molecule. During transcription, this coding region is transcribed into a complementary RNA sequence by RNA polymerase.
What is the bone matrix?
The matrix of the bone is portion of specialized connective tissue composed of intercellular, is contain an organic and inorganic materials 1- The organic material: collagen ( type I) 2- The inorganic material: calcium phosphate
What portion of the IP address does the prefix represent?
It represents the network portion
What does the blue portion of the globe represents?
the oceans
What does the dark portion of the globe represents?
Where it is night.
What kind of molecules are the nucleotides?
All nucleotides have: 1) a phosphate group (same for all nucleotides) 2) a 5-carbon sugar (same for a particular type of nucleic acid - deoxyribose for DNA, ribose for RNA) 3) nucleoside (purine or pyrimidine base - varies for each nucleotide - there are 5 total - 4 for DNA (adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine) - 4 for RNA (adenine, cytosine, guanine, uracil)
Which part of a dna nucleotide contains a negative charge?
The DNA nucleotide consists of three parts: a phosphate group, a 5-carbon sugar, and a nitrogenous base. The portion of the nucleotide that contains a negative charge is the phosphate group.
What are the Three enzymes used in DNA replica and their functions?
Helicase: Unwounds a portion of the DNA Double HelixRNA Primase: Attaches RNA primers to the replicating strands.DNA Polymerase delta (ä): Binds to the 5' - 3' strand in order to bring nucleotides and create the daughter leading strand.DNA Polymerase epsilon (å): Binds to the 3' - 5' strand in order to create discontinuous segments starting from different RNA primers.Exonuclease (DNA Polymerase I): Finds and removes the RNA PrimersDNA Ligase: Adds phosphate in the remaining gaps of the phosphate - sugar backboneNucleases: Remove wrong nucleotides from the daughter strand.
What are glycolipids composed of?
Glycolipids are composed of a lipid portion, usually a fatty acid, and a carbohydrate portion. The carbohydrate portion is bound to the lipid via a glycosidic bond. Glycolipids are found in cell membranes and are involved in cell signaling and recognition processes.
Is the following true or false the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum represents a large portion of the spectrum?
False
What is the sugar portion of the Dna molecule?
The uprights [backbone] of Dna is also known as its 'sugar-phosphate-backbone' - the sugar portion is the five-cyclic-carbon sugar Ribose.
What does a fraction represent?
A fraction represents a portion of a whole item.
Can you please tell me what a Representative Fraction is?
a portion that represents the whole
