Number of nucleotide strands in RNA?
DNA is usually double stranded and RNA is usually single stranded but there are exections to both cases
What type of bonding occurs between DNA nucleotides?
Covalent bonding occurs between the nucelotides between the phosphate, deoxyribose sugar and organic base of a single DNA strand and hydrogen bonding holds the complementary bases of two DNA strands together.
A single RNA molecule contains many?
Nucleotides - A, U, G or C, connected together by the usual phosphate- (ribose) sugar backbone.
What happens If all of the hydrogen bonds in a DNA molecule were to break?
The double helix would be torn into two single strands.
What is hyperchromic and hypochromic effect?
In reference to the melting of DNA: as DNA melts (denatures from a double-stranded molecule to two single strands) the UV absorbance INCREASES. This absorbance increase is referred to as a "hyperchromic shift" or the hyperchromic effect. Thinking about this situation in reverse: the UV absorbance DECREASES as two DNA strands anneal to form double stranded DNA. This is referred to as the "hypochromic effect". (Please note, there is an answer on answers.com that incorrectly states the opposite, that absorbance decreases with melting. This is incorrect. Two single strands of DNA have higher absorbance than the double-stranded molecule.)
What is the DNA and RNA for strands of nucleotides?
DNA and RNA:AdenineCytosineGuanineDNA only:ThymineRNA only:Uracil
Number of nucleotide strands in RNA?
DNA is usually double stranded and RNA is usually single stranded but there are exections to both cases
What type of bonding occurs between DNA nucleotides?
Covalent bonding occurs between the nucelotides between the phosphate, deoxyribose sugar and organic base of a single DNA strand and hydrogen bonding holds the complementary bases of two DNA strands together.
Is DNA a single stranded molecule?
Yes, DNA is double-stranded.There are two strands. Each one is a polymer (series) of nucleotides, and the two strands twine round one another to form the DNA molecule.
How many strands of nucleotides are in a DNA molecule?
There are two strands of DNA in a DNA double helix, each consisting of many nucleotide subunits. They are like building blocks that make up the DNA molecule, which would then be like a block tower. A 'strand of nucleotides' as you put it would basically be a DNA molecule (if they are deoxyribose nucleotides) or if they are ribose nucleotides, they would be a RNA molecule. DNA can come in double stranded helices (most of the time) or can be single stranded (as in some viruses).
How many strands is DNA made of?
DNA is composed of two strands of DNA nucleotides.
What happens in the bonding of two nucleotides?
Phophodiester bonds are the one that connect the nucleotides next to each other on the same strand. Weak hydrogen bonds join the two complementary nucleotides and thus the two strands of the DNA together.
What characteristic of DNA allows two connected DNA polymerases to synthesize both the leading and lagging strands?
DNA polymerase's property to link nucleotides as they form base pairs with single stranded DNA.
What the difference between rna and dna in number of strands?
the difference between DNA and RNA AS DNA ARE DOUBLE STANDED AND RNA IS SINGLE STANDED
What is a change in single nucleotides in DNA?
A mutation
What factor maintains the same distance between strands in DNA molecules?
Depending on what "Strands" are it could be either Hydrogen bonding between complementary base pairs or Phosphate bonds between interlinking deoxyribose sugars
How do DNA strands join together?
The two strands are held together by Hydrogen bonds between the complementary base pairs (A to T and G to C). These bonds break, and the strands separate, when enough heat is added or the DNA is placed in an alkali environment.
