. How are complementary strands of DNA held together?

Complementary strands of DNA are held together by hydrogen bonds connecting complementary bases.


The two strands of a DNA molecule are held together by?

The two strands of a DNA molecule are held together by hydrogen bonds between complementary nitrogenous bases. Adenine pairs with thymine, and guanine pairs with cytosine. This base pairing allows the two strands to twist together in a double helix structure.


How are DNA molecules bound together to form a double helix?

The DNA strands are held together by hydrogen bonds between complimentary base pairs.


What holds the two halves of a DNA double helix together?

The two halves of a DNA double helix are held together by hydrogen bonds between complementary nitrogenous bases. Adenine pairs with thymine and guanine pairs with cytosine. This base pairing allows for the specificity and stability of the DNA molecule.


How are the two chains of a double helix held together?

The two chains of a DNA double helix are held together by hydrogen bonds between complementary base pairs. Adenine pairs with thymine, and cytosine pairs with guanine. These hydrogen bonds form the base pairs that hold the two strands of DNA together.


What type of bond holds together 2 strands of DNA?

Hydrogen bonds hold together the two strands of DNA. These bonds form between specific base pairs: adenine (A) with thymine (T), and guanine (G) with cytosine (C), creating the double helix structure of DNA.


What is the shap of DNA?

DNA has a double helix structure, which looks like a twisted ladder. It consists of two strands that are held together by chemical bonds between nucleotide bases. This shape allows DNA to store and transmit genetic information efficiently.


Each molecule of DNA is called What?

the whole strand is called a double helix a individual molecule made up of... a sugar a phosphate a base is called necleotide.


Did the Watson and Crick model of DNA say two strands of the helix were held together by covalent bonds?

Not covalent, hydrogen-bonds.


What is the shape of a DNA molecule formed when two twisted DNA strands are coiled into a springlike structure and held together by hydrogen bonds between the bases?

The shape of a DNA molecule formed by two twisted strands coiled into a springlike structure and held by hydrogen bonds is called a double helix. The two strands run in opposite directions and are connected by complementary base pairs (adenine-thymine, guanine-cytosine). This structure allows for the genetic information to be stored and replicated accurately.


How are the strands held together in the double helix?

On a single strand of DNA the nucleotides are held together by covalent bonding between the phosphate group bonded to the 5' end of the deoxyribose, which bonds to another deoxyribose molecule attached to the next nucleotide on the strand at the 3' end of the sugar. This is what holds together a single strand. When two strands of DNA that have exactly complementary base pairing (Adenine bonds with only Thymine, and Cytosine with Guanine) the base forms a hydrogen bond to the base on the opposite strand, only if the base pairing is complementary. So, in short the double helix form is held together by hydrogen bonds between the bases present on the strand.


How many strands is DNA made of?

DNA is made of two strands that run in opposite directions and are held together by hydrogen bonds between complementary base pairs (adenine-thymine and guanine-cytosine). This structure forms the famous double helix shape of DNA.
