pairs of nitrogen bases
What else can I help you with?
If a DNA molecule is compared to a staircase what parts make up the steps?
guanine, cytosine, thymine, adenine.
What molecule is made up of steps like a ladder?
You are probably thinking of DNA. The base pairs link the two strands together like a series of steps. However, since it is helical, it might be more accurate to compare it to a spiral staircase.
What part of the nucleotide makes the stairs of the spiral staircase?
The nitrogenous bases (adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine) make up the steps of the DNA double helix. They form complementary base pairs (A-T, C-G) that connect the two DNA strands together like a spiral staircase.
Why is the structure of a DNA molecule sometimes referred to as having the shape of a spiral staircase?
There seems to be no definite answer now. Some say it is because the direction of chemical bonds. Others say the spiral shape is the most economical way for information packaging. Still others say DNA was most stable in spiral shape.
Explain how a double helix is similar to a spiral staircase?
Two strands of DNA intertwined together and twisted to form a double helix. The sugar phosporous backbone is like the side of the stairs and the nucleotide bases are like the steps of the stairs.
If a DNA molecules compared to a spiral staircase what make up the steps?
guanine, cytosine, thymine, adenine.
If a DNA molecule is compared to a staircase what parts make up the steps?
guanine, cytosine, thymine, adenine.
Is a double helix like a spiral staircase?
A spiral staircase is actually a very good analogy for DNA. The railings are like the chains of Deoxyribose (the type of sugar that gives DNA its name) that give the DNA molecule its shape. The steps in the staircase would represent the base pairs (made up of Adenine, Guanine, Thymine, and Cytosine) that contain the genetic information.
How many spiral staircases are inside the Statue of Liberty?
There is only one spiral staircase. But it contains about 354 steps.
How do I build a spiral staircase?
There are several steps that must be taken in order to build a spiral staircase for a home. A pole must first be created. The risers come next and then a handrail must be attached.
Does the Statue of Liberty have steps?
An internal spiral staircase is visible in this picture: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Statue_of_Liberty_interior.jpg
In the Watson-Crick model of a double helix the steps of the spiral staircase are composed of?
In the Watson-Crick model of a double helix, the steps of the spiral staircase are composed of nitrogenous bases. These bases include adenine (A) pairing with thymine (T) and cytosine (C) pairing with guanine (G) through hydrogen bonds.
How many stairs are in a standard spiral staircase?
Do not confuse stairs with steps or treads! All depends on floor to floor height. Floor to ceiling 8 ft. + floor thickness (8 to 12 in.) would give you approx. 10 or 11 steps. but my answer would have to be 1 (one), there is one stair in a standard spiral staircase
How deep are the steps in the staircase?
The steps in the staircase are typically around 7 to 8 inches deep.
How high are the steps in the building's staircase?
The steps in the building's staircase are approximately 7 inches high.
How tall are the steps in the staircase?
The steps in the staircase are typically around 7 to 8 inches tall.
What molecule is made up of steps like a ladder?
