Thousands upon thousands. Because DNA must contain all the characteristics of your being, it must be long.

What enzyme builds new DNA strands from existing strands during DNA replication?

DNA Polymerase III is responsible for adding new nucleotides to the strand being synthesised. Also involved in DNA replication are DNA Polymerase I which replaces primers with nucleotides, and DNA Ligase which joins fragments of DNA together.


The site where the old DNA strands separate and new DNA strands will be synthesized is called the?

The site where the old DNA strands separate and new DNA strands are synthesized is called the replication fork. This is where the enzyme DNA polymerase adds nucleotides to the growing DNA strand.


DNA molecules has how many strands?

DNA molecules have two strands that are twisted together to form a double helix structure. Each strand is made up of a sequence of nucleotides containing genetic information.


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).


Where do you get your RNA?

Dna is split up into two different strands of nucleotides. After that is beyond me.


The enzyme that adds new nucleotides to each side of a replicating DNA molecule is?

DNA polymerase is the enzyme that adds new nucleotides to each side of a replicating DNA molecule. It catalyzes the synthesis of new DNA strands by adding complementary nucleotides to the existing template strands during DNA replication.
