because they are tuff
Nitrogenous bases are held together by hydrogen bonds, thus making them easier to separate during DNA replication.
During DNA replication, hydrogen bonds between base pairs are broken by an enzyme called DNA helicase. This enzyme unwinds the double helix structure of DNA, separating the two strands. This allows for new complementary nucleotides to be added during the replication process.
Helicases must break the hydrogen bonds between paired nucleotide bases (Thymidine-Adenosine or Guanosine-Cytosine) of DNA strands so the two strands can be separated and replicated. The origins of replication, the initial "replication bubbles", tend to be in sequences that are A-T rich because Adenine-Thymidine has only two hydrogen bonds, energetically easier for helicases to start breaking than the three hydrogen bonds between Guanosine-Cytosine. For replication to continue topoisomerases must also cut the phosphate backbones of DNA strands, otherwise the helically wrapped strands would get much too overwound or "supercoiled" for polymerases and related replication machinery to continue to function. Nucleosomes (complexes of histone proteins that DNA wraps around) also have to be rearranged or removed to allow for replication.
The two strands of DNA are held together by hydrogen bonds.
Helicase enzyme breaks hydrogen bonds between base pairs in DNA strands to unwind the double helix structure. Polymerase enzyme breaks the bonds between nucleotides in the DNA strand being replicated, allowing for the addition of new nucleotides during DNA replication.
The enzyme that breaks the hydrogen bonds during DNA replication is called helicase.
The enzyme responsible for breaking hydrogen bonds during DNA replication is called DNA helicase.
hydrogen in bases
During DNA replication, the enzyme helicase breaks the hydrogen bonds between the two strands of DNA, allowing the strands to separate and be copied.
By forming matching hydrogen bonds.
Hydrogen bonds between the nitrogenous bases need to be broken for the DNA strand to separate during replication or transcription.
During DNA replication, the bonds broken between N-bases are hydrogen bonds. These hydrogen bonds are relatively weak compared to the covalent bonds that hold the sugar-phosphate backbone together. The breaking of hydrogen bonds allows the two strands of the DNA double helix to separate, providing access for DNA polymerase to create new complementary strands.
Nitrogenous bases are held together by hydrogen bonds, thus making them easier to separate during DNA replication.
Yes, helicase breaks hydrogen bonds between the nitrogenous base pairs of DNA during replication, allowing the double helix to unwind and separate into two single strands. This process is essential for the replication of DNA.
During DNA replication, hydrogen bonds between base pairs are broken by an enzyme called DNA helicase. This enzyme unwinds the double helix structure of DNA, separating the two strands. This allows for new complementary nucleotides to be added during the replication process.
The hydrogen bonds are broken in order to unzip the DNA strand. This all occurs during the DNA replication process.
Adenine and thymine bond in DNA replication through hydrogen bonding. Adenine pairs with thymine, forming two hydrogen bonds between them. This pairing is essential for maintaining the structure and integrity of the DNA molecule during replication.
