What else can I help you with?
What enzyme joins the nucleotides of a DNA strand together?
That depends on the process. During DNA replication, The nucleotides of the lagging strand (Okazaki fragments) are connected by DNA ligase. In transcription, the nucleotides of RNA are connected by RNA polymerase II.DNA Polymerse
What is a basepair?
A basepair is a pair of nucleotides on opposite complementary DNA or RNA strands which are connected via hydrogen bonds.
How many strands of nucleotides are in DNA?
Thousands upon thousands. Because DNA must contain all the characteristics of your being, it must be long.
How many DNA molecules are in a chromosomes?
There is one double helix DNA molecule per chromosome.
How many nucleotides of DNA code for the production of human growth hormone?
576, because there are 191 amino acids in human growth hormone. 191x3= 573, but then you add three to account for the nucleotides that act as a stop codon.
What type of bonds make p DNA and where in DNA do you find these bonds?
The bonds are called hydrogen bonds. You can find these bonds in the nucleotides of DNA.
What are the nucleotides in DNA joined by?
peptide bonds
Why does DNA have to have hydrogen bonds?
Hydrogen bonds help hold the two strands of DNA together in a stable double helix structure. Without hydrogen bonds, the DNA molecule would not be able to maintain its shape and function properly as the genetic material of the cell.
What type of chemical bond holds together the backbone of a strand of DNA?
Covalent bonds between a sugar molecule (deoxyribose) and a phosphate group make up the backbone of DNA. These are very strong covalent bonds and are broken only with great expenditure of energy--x-rays, for example.
Which nucleotides bonds with adenine?
Nucleotide, singular.Thymine binds with adenine.
What holds DNA bases together?
DNA bases are held together by hydrogen bonds. Adenine pairs with thymine through two hydrogen bonds, while guanine pairs with cytosine through three hydrogen bonds. These interactions contribute to the stability of the DNA double helix structure.
How are nucleotides in a single strand of a DNA molecule linked together?
Nucleotides in a single strand of a DNA molecule are linked together by strong chemical bonds called phosphodiester bonds. These bonds connect the sugar and phosphate groups of adjacent nucleotides, forming a long chain that makes up the DNA molecule.
What bond is between nucleic acids?
In producing a strand of DNA the nucleotides combine to form phosphodiester bonds.
Do covalent bonds hold nitrogen bases togetherforming the rings of the DNA ladder?
No, covalent bonds do not hold the nitrogen bases together in the rings of the DNA ladder. Instead, the nitrogen bases are connected by hydrogen bonds, which are weaker than covalent bonds, allowing for the base pairs to easily separate during processes like DNA replication. Covalent bonds are present in the sugar-phosphate backbone of DNA, linking nucleotides together.
In DNA base pairs are held together by what kinds of bonds?
DNA base pairs are held together by Hydrogen Bonds. Adenine and Thymine have 2 bonds that hold them together while Cysteine and Guanine have 3 bonds that hold them together. The hydrogen bonds generally occur between a Nitrogen and a carbonyl oxygen.
What type of bond is between nucleotides?
In producing a strand of DNA the nucleotides combine to form phosphodiester bonds.
What type of bond holds together the base pairs in a DNA helix?
Hydrogen Bonds are the bonds that hold the complimentary bases together. G to C and A to T. However the bonds that hold the nucleotides together on each side of the double helix are called Phosphodiester bonds or linkages.
