In DNA, adenine always pairs with thymine. Therefore, in each DNA model, the number of adenine molecules will be equal to the number of thymine molecules. The exact count of adenines and thymines will depend on the length of the DNA strand in the model.

What bonds Adenine and Thymine together?

The Watson-Crick base pair of Thymine is Adenine. The two molecules are bound together by a set of three hydrogen bonds. Thymine can also form what are known as Thymine dimers when exposed to UV radiation, which is the source of damage to DNA from overexposure to UV radiation and can cause cancer.


In DNA adenine pairs with?

Short answer: Adenine More information: In the model of DNA that was discovered by Rosalind Franklin, James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953 proposed that DNA was a double helix structure with 4 bases which pair to each other. Due to experiments that had been carried out by other scientists at the time (namely Erwin Chargoff in 1949) he showed that despite the amount of DNA present the amount of adenine was always equal to the amount of thymine and the amount of cytosine to the amount of guanine. When Watson had this information he suddenly realised that the adenine-thymine bond was the same length as the cytosine-guanine bond and therefore they would pair to each other in a double helix model. Thymine and adenine are held together by a double hydrogen bond; whereas cytosine and guanine form a triple hydrogen bond.


What scientist found that DNA contains equal amount of thymine and adenine?

Erwin Chargaff is his name


What is correct about Chargaff's rule for each species A adenine equals guanine B adenine equals thymine C adenine equals cytosine D adenine guanine thymine and cytosine amounts are equal?

in each species the amount of adenine equals the amount of cytosine


What are the nitrogen based pairs?

The nitrogen bases in DNA are adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine. They pair with each other as follows: adenine pairs with thymine, and cytosine pairs with guanine. The nitrogen bases in RNA are adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil. They pair with each other as follows: adenine pairs with uracil, and cytosine pairs with guanine.


How many colors do you need to make a DNA model?

You would need 6 colours, one for each of: adenine, thymine, guanine, cytosine, phosphate and deoxyribose.


What does each letter in the genetic code stand for?

Guanine, Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine.


What do Chargaff's rules state about adenine and thymine?

Chargaff's rules state that in DNA, the amount of adenine (A) is equal to the amount of thymine (T). This is known as complementary base pairing, where A always pairs with T in the double helix structure of DNA.


What two base pairs would not be found in a cell?

Cytosine and adenine do not pair with each other in DNA. Instead, cytosine pairs with guanine, while adenine pairs with thymine.


In each species does the amount of adenine equal to the amount of thymine?

Every adenine in DNA will be paired to a thymine. However in RNA adenine is paired to uracil. So no - all else being equal since there is DNA and RNA in a body there will not be equal amounts.


If thirty five percent thymine what percentages of each of the other bases are contained the same gene?

If 35% of the gene is thymine, then you know that adenine will also be 35%, as they pair together. Similarly, guanine will be 15% and cytosine will be 15% to complement their pairing percentages with adenine and thymine.


What nucleotide replaces thymine?

Uracil replaces Thymine in DNA. Adenine and Thymine go together while Cytosine and Guanine go with each other in DNA. But, in RNA, Thymine is replaces with Uracil. So not Adenine and Uracil go together, while Cytosine and Guanine pair up.
