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.
What enzyme is responsible for catalyzing the formation of the two new DNA strands?
DNA polymerases
What does semi-conservative model mean?
Refers to semi-conservative replication of DNA. One strand of the old DNA is used as a template to replicate the other, new, strand of DNA. Thus you have four from two, but two of the four are old strands while the other two strands are new. Thus the name semi-conservative replication.
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.
Why the amount of DNA produced with pcr is expected to double with each cycle?
double stranded DNA into single stranded DNA meaning that 2 DNA strands can be produced
What is the process in which DNA is separated into two strands then produces two new complementary strands following the rules of base pairing?
DNA replication
Which of the following would cause an error in DNA replication?
(APEX) the original DNA strands never being separated.
What causes two strands of DNA to split?
The answer depends on the circumstances! In a cell, during DNA replication or during translation, the two strands in a DNA molecule are separated by enzymes called topoisomerases and helicases. In a solution, the two strands of a DNA molecule can be separated by being heated. This is called DNA melting. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_melting
Double strand DNA separation from single strand DNA in centrifuge?
The two strands can not be separated mechanically.
Do two DNA strands need to be separated before DNA replication or transcription can occur?
Yes. Also, of the two strands of DNA, only one is the template that will be transcribed, while the other strand is a noncoding strand of DNA.
The junction between separated strands of DNA is called what?
replication fork
What does the replication fork do in DNA replication?
Replication forks hold the two separated strands of DNA apart preventing them from assuming their double helic shape.
DNA strands held together by hrydrogen bonds are separated by an?
I wanna say deoxyribose but I'm not completely sure
Two strands of a DNA molecule are held together by what?
The bases attach to each strand, then pair up with the correct bases from a supply found in the cytoplasm.The order of the new base pairs will match the order of the original DNA before it separated.
What takes place during DNA replication?
The DNA double helix unwinds, & the two separated strands each serve as a template for a complementary strand to be synthesised
How many DNA strands do goldfish have?
10000 DNA strands.
What are some methods of sequencing DNA?
Some methods that are sequencing DNA is utilizing labeled nucleotides for corporation into a copy of a piece of DNA. The DNA segment to be copied, called the template DNA, is separated into two strands by heating.
