Describe the dna structure using the terms nucleotides, backbone, and orientation.

Biology
1 answer:
Alona [7]4 years ago
7 0

The term DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid and contains genetic information in its double-stranded helical structure.

Explanation:

A nucleotide can be said to be the basic building block of the DNA molecule. Each of these nucleotides is composed of three components:

  1. A phosphate group
  2. A sugar group
  3. A nitrogen base

The genetic code contained within the DNA is determined by the sequence/order in which these bases occur.

The DNA backbone is made up of the sugar-phosphate nucleic acids framework. These groups occur in an alternating manner, in repeating patterns.

The structure of DNA is fairly regular, as in the following parameters are constant - orientation, length of the strand, width and number of nucleotides. These double-stranded molecules are asymmetrical, with the two disjoint strands intertwined with each other, connected by means of hydrogen bonds.

What is the difference between recessive and dominate
zaharov [31]

The terms dominant and recessive describe the inheritance patterns of certain traits. ... For a recessive allele to produce a recessive phenotype, the individual must have two copies, one from each parent. An individual with one dominant and one recessive allele for a gene will have the dominant phenotype.

Hope this helpsss:))))

How do the nitrogen bases pairs join in DNA?
Korolek [52]
There are 4 nitrogenous bases in DNA. Adenine pairs with thymine, and Guanine pairs with cytosine. A Dna Nucleotide consists of a 5 carbon sugar, a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base. These bases are paired up by weak hydrogen bonds, so when they have have to replicate, the enzyme helicase can easily unzip the Dna. <span />
