A monomer is a molecule that serves as the building block of larger molecules called polymers. One example of monomers is nucleotides. Nucleotides are made up of a sugar-phosphate complex and a nitrogenous base. There are two main groups of nit...
What do nucleotides consist of? In a DNA nucleotide, to which carbon on deoxyribose is the nitrogenous base attached? What are the nucleotides involved in DNA synthesis? What molecules make up the rungs of the DNA structure? What is the structure of DNA determined by?
because the difference is slight: nucleotides are defined by their bond with a phosphate — whereas nucleosides lack a phosphate bond entirely. This structural difference changes the way the units bond with other molecules, as well as the way they help make up DNA and ...
Nucleotides are organic molecules that form the structures for genes and proteins. DNA sequencing is a technique used to determine the sequence of nucleotides in a DNA molecule. To do this, a DNA molecule is cut into smaller pieces and then used as a template for a particular strand of RNA ...
Most sequencing instruments use optical detection to determine nucleotide incorporation during DNA synthesis. Ion Torrent instruments use electrical detection to sense the release of hydrogen ions, which naturally occurs when nucleotides are incorpor...
This Amira Software module visualizes the typical ladder structure of double-stranded DNA or single-stranded RNA structures. Each strand consists of multiple nucleotides with four different base types (Adenin, Cytosine, Guanine, and Thymine for DNA; and Adenine, Cytosine, Guan...
What is the other name given to the molecular structure of DNA? What do you call the enzyme that assembles DNA nucleotides into polynucleotides using a pre-existing strand of DNA as a template? What does a nucleotide in DNA consist of?
Each strand consists of multiple nucleotides with four different base types (Adenin, Cytosine, Guanine, and Thymine for DNA; and Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine, and Urazil for RNA). The backbone part of the nucleotide will be shown as a strand with an elliptical cross section and the bases as...
Nucleotides are the building blocks of a DNA strand. As such, they are the monomers that make polynucleotide chains to form the DNA. To form the polynucleotide chain, a bond is formed between the 3' carbon of the pentose of one nucleotide and the phosphate attached to the 5' (5th) ...
Which pair of complementary bases in DNA binds more strongly and why? How does DNA polymerase add nucleotides? What is the 2' OH group in DNA? Does DNA replication produce 1 DNA molecule or 2 DNA molecules that are identical to one another and the parent molecule?
