DNA strands are antiparallel for the integrity of the molecule. This allows formation of the hydrogen bonds between nitrogenous bases. If they were not antiparallel the bonds would not be possible.

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.


What do you mean by hypothesis explain its dimension and sources?

It is an idea or explanation tested through study and experiments. The sources are the triple tradition and double tradition.


An inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder is called?

A screw or a bolt is an inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder.


If you double the force you throw a ball the acceleration will double?

No. For a start, you probably don't mean "acceleration" you probably mean "speed" or "velocity." There is a non-linear relationship between force applied on an object and the speed which it will travel through a medium (in this case, air). To double the speed, the amount of force required is more than double, since as the speed of the object increases, the frictional losses similarly increase. Since in this case, the ball will continue to slow immediately after release, the ball is experiencing "acceleration" with a negative value. A In case you are really asking about acceleration the answer is yes. If the ball, in your hand, starts from rest and is accelerated up to some velocity at which it leaves your hand then that acceleration will be double if you throw with twice the force. This will cause the ball to leave your hand with twice the velocity. Once it leaves your hand you are no longer exerting a force on it and the ball will be subject to air resistance which will affect its velocity as described above.


What does evaluate your method mean?

You needed to double check your experimental results again and again to show they are repeatable and not just a "fluke". Should you have used something else in the experiment? Did you use too much? Too little?

What does antiparallel mean?

Antiparallel refers to a configuration where two molecules or structures run in opposite directions. In terms of DNA, antiparallel describes the orientation of the two strands running in opposite 5' to 3' directions. This allows for complementary base pairing to occur between the strands.


What does antiparallel mean in DNA?

One strand runs one way and the other runs the opposite way. An example using integers. 12345678 87654321 except in DNA there are only four different bases. Thus; AGTC TCAG


What is the DNA twisted structure called?

AnswerThe "twisted ladder" shape of DNA is called a double helix.


What does the term complementary mean when referring to DNA replication?

In DNA replication, the term complementary refers to the matching base pairing between nucleotides on the two strands of the DNA double helix. Adenine pairs with thymine and guanine pairs with cytosine, creating two identical daughter strands during replication.


What does it mean to call the DNA double helix anti parallel?

The term "anti-parallel" refers to the orientation of the two strands of the DNA double helix. In this structure, one strand runs in the 5' to 3' direction, while the complementary strand runs in the opposite direction, from 3' to 5'. This orientation is crucial for processes like DNA replication and transcription, as it allows for proper base pairing and enzyme activity.


What makes up the arms of the DNA spiral?

The arms of the DNA spiral are made up of two intertwined strands of nucleotides. Each strand consists of a sugar-phosphate backbone with nucleotide bases extending inward and forming hydrogen bonds with complementary bases on the opposite strand. This structure creates the double helix shape characteristic of DNA.


What does it mean to have double stranded DNA and how does it differ from single stranded DNA?

Having double stranded DNA means that the DNA molecule consists of two strands that are twisted together in a double helix structure. This is the typical structure of DNA found in living organisms. Single stranded DNA, on the other hand, consists of just one strand of DNA. Double stranded DNA is more stable and less prone to errors during replication compared to single stranded DNA.


If the DNA strands are matched up what does that mean?

This means the two strands of DNA are complementary.


What is double?

do you mean dk or double knit yarn ? if so this is basically equal to USA sport yarn. It is non American version and knits at between 5-6 stitches to the inch using a number 5 - 6 needle ........ OR ..... did you mean just using the yarn double as in using two strands at once? if your pattern says use the yarn double then just use two strands at once by pulling from two skeins and holding both threads together when your work .

What molecles form the sides of the ladder?

I'm assuming you mean the double helix "ladder-like" formation of a strand of DNA. The sides of the structure are essentially a phosphate-deoxyribose backbone.


What does the prefix Helik mean?
