115 hydrogen bonds will be involved in base pairing in a DNA molecule of 50 bp that contain 15 cytosine bases.
According Chargaff's rule, guanine (G) binds to cytosine (C) with 3 hydrogen bonds, while adenine (A) binds to thymine (T) with 2 hydrogen bonds.
So, the given DNA molecule (50bp) has 15 cytosine bases, i.e. 15 G-C pairing (15 x 3 = 45 hydrogen bonds) & 35 A-T pairing (35 x 2 = 70 hydrogen bonds).
45 + 70 = 115 hydrogen bonds.
How many hydrogen bonds will be involved in base pairing in a DNA molecule of 50...
Question 1 1 pts Why is it important for DNA to have complementary base pairing? O Complementary base pairing allows base pairs to be packed in the most energetically favorable arrangement inside of the double helix structure. O Complementary base pairing will pair a purine with a purine, which are a similar width, thus they are able to hold the sugar-phosphate backbone an equal distance apart along the DNA molecule o Complementary base pairing is only important for maintaining the...
9. A DNA molecule has 180 base pairs and is 20 percent adenine. How many cytosine nucleotides are present in this molecule of DNA?
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...

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,...
