The piece holding DNA together is the sugar-phosphate backbone, which consists of alternating sugar (deoxyribose) and phosphate groups. This backbone provides structural stability and support for the DNA molecule. Additionally, the nitrogenous bases (adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine) pair with each other through hydrogen bonds, forming the rungs of the DNA double helix and contributing to the molecule's overall integrity.
What else can I help you with?
What type of DNA are holding the molecule together?
What components make up the backbone of DNA
How do you destroy the hydrogen bonds holding DNA together?
You can disrupt hydrogen bonds holding DNA together by raising the temperature above the DNA's melting point (around 90-95°C) or by changing the pH of the solution to extremes. This will cause the DNA strands to separate into single strands.
What enzyme joins pieces of DNA together?
Ligase is used to join DNA strands together
The constricted region holding two chromatids together is called a histone?
Sounds more like a centromere. Histones are proteins which are responsible for coiling the DNA up tightly.
What conditions do you see single stranded DNA?
Single stranded DNA can form during processes like DNA replication, repair, or transcription. Conditions such as denaturation, where high temperature or extreme pH disrupt the hydrogen bonds holding the DNA strands together, can also lead to the formation of single stranded DNA. Additionally, viruses like ssDNA phages contain single stranded DNA.
What type of DNA are holding the molecule together?
What components make up the backbone of DNA
What bond is responsible for holding the two strands of double stranded DNA together?
Hydrogen bonds are responsible for holding the two strands of DNA together.
How do you destroy the hydrogen bonds holding DNA together?
You can disrupt hydrogen bonds holding DNA together by raising the temperature above the DNA's melting point (around 90-95°C) or by changing the pH of the solution to extremes. This will cause the DNA strands to separate into single strands.
What is the region of a chromosome holding the two double strands of replicated DNA together called?
The region of a chromosome holding the two double strands of replicated DNA together is called a centromere. The complex of DNA and protein that makes up eukaryotic chromosome is properly called chromatin.
What is the weak chemical bonds important in holding the dna double helix together is the?
The weak chemical bond important in holding the DNA double helix together is the hydrogen bond. These bonds form between the nitrogenous bases of the two DNA strands, specifically between adenine and thymine, and guanine and cytosine. The hydrogen bonds provide stability to the double helical structure of DNA.
How does shotgun sequencing work to sequence DNA fragments?
Shotgun sequencing breaks DNA into small fragments, sequences them, and then assembles the fragments to create the full DNA sequence. The process involves randomly breaking the DNA into pieces, sequencing each piece, and then using overlapping sequences to piece together the entire DNA sequence.
Who was able to piece together the structure of DNA?
Watson and Crick were the ones who pieced together all the final information. Rosaline Franklin was the one who first surmised that DNA had a double, rather than triple helix.
What happens to DNA when heated to 95 degrees Celsius?
When DNA is heated to 95 degrees Celsius, the hydrogen bonds holding the two DNA strands together break, causing the strands to separate in a process known as denaturation. This results in the DNA becoming single-stranded, which can have various consequences such as affecting gene expression or disrupting DNA replication.
How can a plasmid be engineered to include a piece of foreign DNA?
A plasmid can be engineered to include a piece of foreign DNA by using restriction enzymes to cut both the plasmid and the foreign DNA at specific sites. The two fragments are then ligated together using DNA ligase. The resulting recombinant plasmid can be introduced into a host organism for replication and expression of the foreign DNA.
Why was Professor Clabberhead Utterbunk holding up a piece of bread?
He was proposing a toast. Those words are all together on the worksheet.
When was Holding Together created?
Holding Together was created in 1976-03.
When dna from two sources is combined into one single piece of dna, it is known as?
Recombinant DNA.
