What else can I help you with?
If the sequence of nucleotides of one strand of the two strands of DNA was known is it possible to use that information to determine the sequence of the second strand?
Yes because the bases pair uniquely when the strands are joined together.
How do DNA expand?
DNA expands through a process called replication, where the double-stranded DNA molecule separates into two strands, and each strand serves as a template for the synthesis of new complementary strands. Enzymes known as DNA polymerases add nucleotides to the growing new strands, resulting in two identical DNA molecules.
Is a triplet of RNA nucleotides known as a codon?
If you mean messenger RNA (mRNA), then yes, a triplet of mRNA nucleotides is known as a mRNA codon. However, if you mean transfer RNA (tRNA), then the answer is no. A triplet of tRNA nucleotides is known as an anticodon.
What class of enzyme is DNA polymerase?
DNA polymerase is a catalyst, by catalyzing the synthesis of new DNA by adding nucleotides to a preexisting chain. There are several different DNA polymerases, but DNA polymerase I and DNA polymerase II play the major roles in DNA replication.
What Have individual monomers known as nucleotides?

What does it mean to say DNA polymerase reads a template strand to make the complementary strand?
During DNA replication, the enzyme DNA polymerase catalyses the formation of new strands of DNA, using the old strands as models. DNA has a double-helix structure, with two strands forming each helix. Each strand is made up of DNA nucleotides, with the genetic information encoded in the sequence of different nucleotides (different nucleotides are distinguished by molecules called 'bases' attached to them, so the sequence of nucleotides is known as the 'base sequence'). The base sequence of one strand is complementary to that of its' neighbour - the base A binds with T, and C with G, so if one strand had the sequence ATTACA, the base sequence of the complementary strand would be TAATGT. When DNA polymerase creates a new DNA strand, it does so by matching nucleotides to the base sequence of one of the strands - the template strand. New nucleotides are brought in, which match the template in a complementary fashion (ie. A-T, C-G), and join to become one new strand. This new strand is complementary to the template.

What are thin strands of DNA?
Chromatin occurs as long thin strands of DNA. They are found in a loosely packed formation. While chromosomes are formed by a tighter packing, via coiling and compact folding of the DNA protein complex are thus visible.
Are there similarities between human DNA and rat DNA?
What studies have found is that there are strands of DNA that we share, 13 strands, with rats. What that acutally means, isn't quite as well known.
How many strands of the common cold are known to exist?
99 strands.
Do nucleotides store energy?
Nucleotides themselves do not store energy, but the bonds between nucleotides in molecules like ATP (adenosine triphosphate) can store and transfer energy within cells. ATP is known as the energy currency of cells and is used to power various cellular processes.

Monomers that make up nucleic acids are known as?
Monomers that make up nucleic acids are known as nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. These building blocks combine to form long chains of DNA or RNA molecules.
What are DG in science?
In science, "DG" often refers to "deoxyribonucleic acid," which is better known as DNA. DNA is the molecule that carries the genetic instructions for the development, functioning, growth, and reproduction of all known living organisms and many viruses. It consists of two long strands forming a double helix, composed of nucleotides that encode genetic information. Additionally, "DG" can also refer to "dG," which is shorthand for deoxyguanosine, one of the four nucleotides in DNA.
