Why the DNA molecule is compared with a twisted ladder?

the whole DNA strand looks like a twisted ladder. the molecules are on the strand.


What is replication forks?

A replication fork is the mechanism by which a strand of DNA is synthesized. If you can imagine a strand of DNA unwound, then it would resemble a ladder. Unzip the DNA and it now looks like a fork, ie fork in road, not eating fork. There is a Leading strand, which is synthesised easily. USing DNA polymerase which 'reads' along the strand in the 3' to 5' direction on the strand, producing a replication strand in the 5' to 3' direction. The opposite strand is called the lagging strand, and this is slightly more complicated. DNA polymerase cannot read in the 5' to 3' direction on the template strand. Thus DNA primase is used to read the strand and replicate small RNA segments, called Okazaki fragments. The lagging strand has no been copied into many small strands of RNA, or Okazaki fragments. Next DNA polymerase comes along and replaces all the RNA nucleotides with DNA nucleotides. ANd finally DNA ligase 'stitches' all the small fragments into one long strand.


What is the strand?

The template strand, if reffering to DNA, is the strand of the DNA that is copied to make more DNA.


What strand of DNA would be prod from the template strand of DNA shown below?

The complementary strand of DNA to the template strand TACGGCTA would be ATGCCGAT.


Is The lagging strand the strands of parental DNA?

The lagging strand is the strand of newly synthesized DNA that is formed discontinuously during DNA replication. It is not the same as the parental DNA strands from which it is being copied. The parental DNA strands serve as templates for the synthesis of the new leading and lagging strands.


What is the term for the DNA strand that acts as a pattern to the newly synthesized DNA?

The DNA strand that acts as a pattern for the newly synthesized DNA is called the template strand. It serves as a guide during DNA replication, where complementary nucleotides are added to create a new DNA strand.


An old DNA strand is used as a for the assembly of a new DNA strand?

In DNA replication, an existing DNA strand (template strand) is used to guide the assembly of a new complementary DNA strand. Enzymes like DNA polymerase add complementary nucleotides to each template strand, resulting in two identical DNA molecules. This process ensures accurate transmission of genetic information during cell division.


What is the role of the DNA new strand?

It is a copy of the Dna original strand.


Given the following strand of dna what is the complementary strand actggctac?

The complementary DNA strand to ACTGGCTAC is TGACCGATG.


During DNA replications a complementary strand of DNA is made for each original DNA strand thus if a portion of the original strand is CCTAGCT then the new strand will be?

GGATCGA. Each base in the original DNA strand pairs with its complementary base (A with T and C with G) in the new strand during DNA replication.


What is the complementary DNA strand of CCTAGCT?

GGATCGA is comlementary to the DNA strand CCTAGCT.


Name of the DNA strand which is copied to make mRNA?

The DNA strand that is copied to make mRNA is the template strand of the gene. This strand serves as a template for the RNA polymerase enzyme to synthesize a complementary mRNA strand during the process of transcription.
