1. 21.3 DNA Double HelixIn the model shown, the sugar–phosphate backbone is represented by a ribbon with hydrogen bonds between complementarybase pairs.Learning Goal Describe the double helix of DNA.
2. DNA, Ratio of BasesScientists determined that adenine is paired (1:1) with thymine. guanine is paired (1:1) with cytosine. This relationship, known as Chargaff’s rules, can be summarized: Number of purine molecules = Number of pyrimidine moleculesAdenine (A) = Thymine (T)Guanine (G) = Cytosine (C)
3. Base Percentages in DNA of Selected Organisms
4. Complementary Base Pairs: A and TCore Chemistry Skill Writing the Complementary DNA Strand DNA contains complementary base pairs in which adenine is always linked by two hydrogen bonds to thymine (AT).
5. Complementary Base Pairs: G and CDNA contains complementary base pairs in which guanine is always linked by three hydrogen bonds to cytosine (GC).
6. Double Helix of DNAThe DNA structure is a double helix thatconsists of two strands of nucleotides that form a double helix structure like a spiral staircase.has two strands held together by the hydrogen bonds between the bases AT and GC.has bases along one strand that complement the bases along the other.
7. Study CheckWrite the complementary base sequence for the matching strand in the DNA section shown below.
8. SolutionWrite the complementary base sequence for the matching strand in the DNA section shown below.
