According to Chargaff's rule, the amount of purines is equal to the amount of pyrimidine in a DNA. Therefore, in an analysis of the number of different bases in a DNA sample, A+G=C+T, will be consistent with the base pairing rules.
1. Adenine must be 25% in this question it's given as 20%, as per basic rule given above. T will be 25
2. C is 25 %
3. There will be 2 hydrogen bonds between A and T, and 3 hydrogen bonds between C and G
A 100 base pair double strand is 20% A (remember base pairs) 1. How many bases...
You have a piece of double stranded DNA that is 300 base pairs and 50% guanine remember there are 2 nucleotides in a base pair 1, How many H bonds hold the strands together? 2. How many purines are in the molecule? 3. How many pyrimidines in this molelcule? 4 Would you expect this strand to "melt" at a higher or lower temperature than AT rich DNA?
Below are bases used in nucleic acids. (a) why are they called bases-what allows them to act as a base? (b) the two strands of DNA are held together in the double helix form by hydrogen bonds between complementary base pairs. What is a hydrogen bond? (c) Suppose a new disease appears that creates covalent, rather than hydrogen, bonds between the two strands of DNA (this is VERY unlikely!). If you had to design a drug to combat the disease,...
DNA Worksheet DNA by the numbers : Write the correct number in each blank ( when necessary, assume we are talking about B DNA). ________ DNA strands in a double helix ________ hydrogen bonds in an A-T base pair ________ hydrogen bonds in a G-C base pair _______nucleotides in one turn of a double helix ____nm between two bases on a strand of DNA ________ nm in one turn of a double helix ________ nm in diameter ________ the end...
Question 3 (1 point) Match these terms relating to base pairing 1. hydrogen bonds link A-T and G-C. These make "rungs" of DNA ladder shape of RNA 2. number of bonds between Adenine & thymine, or between adenine and uracil complementary base pairing > phosphodiester linkage 3. weak, yet many hold DNA strands together, or RNA that folds back on itself < 2 4. shape of DNA Double helix 5. Single strand, but can fold back on itself to give...
1. Answer the following questions concerning a section of double-stranded DNA containing 1000 base pairs. a. If the DNA contains 28% adenosine residues, how many guanosine residues are in the DNA? b. Are the nucleotide compositions of each of the two individual strands of DNA identical? Explain. c. If the DNA is entirely in the B-DNA conformation: i. How many helical turns does the DNA contain? ii. What is the length of the DNA? 2. Write the sequence of a...
How many hydrogen bonds exist between this DNA strand and its complementary strand? 5'-AGGCCTT-3 Number As a result of rotation about six of its bonds, DNA can exist in a variety of forms. Determine whether each of the following images and properties describes the A form, B form, or Z form of DNA. A form B form Z form All antiparallel strands left-handed C-3' of deoxyribose 18.4 A is out of the plane of helix diameter the other ring atoms...
