Is DNA a single-stranded molecule?

No, DNA is a double-stranded molecule consisting of two strands that are twisted together in a helical structure.

Which molecule is responsible for separating double-stranded DNA into single strands?

Helicase is the enzyme responsible for separating the double-stranded DNA into single strands during DNA replication. It works by breaking the hydrogen bonds between the two strands, allowing them to unwind and separate.


Why does heat denature or melt DNA in solution?

The two strands of DNA are held together by hydrogen bonds. Heat causes disruption of these bonds and therefore separation of the strands. This separation is called denaturation, or, rather strangely, melting. It has nothing to do with normal melting.


Can single strands obtained by heating of double stranded DNA be recombined after cooling?

Of course they can


What is a long loose strand of DNA typical for the nucleus of a cell?

The chromatids are the threadlike strands that chromosomes of DNA take during cell division. Each of these consists of a single long strand of DNA double-helix.


Why can't you see single strands of DNA becoming double strands?

Because DNA is so small you see big clumps with the human eye.


What is the name of one of the single strands in a Double stranded chromosome?

It is called a chromatid.Two chromatids are hold by centromere.


What are the two strands of a double stranded chromosome called?

The two strands of a double-stranded chromosome are called chromatids. Each chromatid contains a single DNA molecule that is duplicated and bound to its sister chromatid at the centromere.


What is the name for the area in which these duplicated strands joined?

The area where the duplicated strands join is called the "replication fork." This is where the DNA helicase unwinds the DNA double helix, creating two single strands that serve as templates for the synthesis of new DNA strands.


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.
