Covalent Bonds
There are three nucleotide Bases for each codon, so the Answer is 72 bases.
In producing a strand of DNA the nucleotides combine to form phosphodiester bonds.
There are four nitrogen bases in DNA nucleotides: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T). Each nucleotide contains one of these nitrogen bases.
The backbones of DNA are held together by covalent bonds, specifically phosphodiester bonds. These bonds form between the phosphate group of one nucleotide and the sugar group of another nucleotide, creating a strong polymer structure that makes up the backbone of the DNA molecule.
The nucleotide bases store the information.
mRNA is single stranded - meaning the bases are not found in pairs (AT, GC) like they are in a double-stranded structure. Therefore the bases themselves will not be directly linked, but the entire nucleotide (sugar, phosphate and base) will be linked to the previous and next nucleotide in the chain by a phosphodiester bond. In DNA (or dsRNA) the C and G are held together by three hydrogen bonds.
Nucleic acids are held together by phosphodiester bonds between the sugar and phosphate groups of adjacent nucleotides in the backbone of the molecule. Additionally, hydrogen bonds between nitrogenous bases in complementary strands help stabilize the double-stranded structure of DNA or RNA.
There are three nucleotide Bases for each codon, so the Answer is 72 bases.
Nucleotide chains of DNA are held together by hydrogen bonds between complementary base pairs (adenine with thymine, and cytosine with guanine). Additionally, the backbone of the DNA molecule is formed by sugar-phosphate bonds.
Yes, DNA does have thymine as one of its four nucleotide bases.
No, nucleotides are joined together by the formation of phosphodiester bonds between the phosphate group of one nucleotide and the sugar molecule of another nucleotide. The bases participate in hydrogen bonding interactions, not covalent bonding, within the DNA double helix structure.
nitrogenous bases are held together with hydrogen bonds. adenine and thymine (or uracil) are held by 2 and guanine and cytosine are held by 3.
Yes, DNA contains thymine as one of its four nucleotide bases.
In producing a strand of DNA the nucleotides combine to form phosphodiester bonds.
Complementary strands of DNA are held together by hydrogen bonds connecting complementary bases.
The backbone of the nucleotides are composed of repeating ribose (in RNA) or deoxyribose (in DNA) and phosphates held together by phosphodiester bonds between the 5's and 3's of the ribose/deoxyribose.
