what direction is dna read?
8960
DNA is read by DNA polymerase in the 3′ to 5′ direction, meaning the nascent strand is synthesized in the 5' to 3' direction.

Since codons in mRNA are read in the 5′ → 3′direction, anticodons are oriented in the 3′ → 5′ direction, as Figure 3-19 shows. Each tRNA is specific for only one amino acid and carries that amino acid attached at its free 3′ end. Amino acids are added to the tRNA by enzymes called aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases.

All of the genetic information in a cell was initially thought to be confined to the DNA in the chromosomes of the cell nucleus. It is now known that small circular chromosomes, called extranuclear, or cytoplasmic, DNA, are located in two types of organelles found in the cytoplasm of the cell.

Gel electrophoresis and DNA Electrophoresis enables you to distinguish DNA fragments of different lengths. DNA is negatively charged, therefore, when an electric current is applied to the gel, DNA will migrate towards the positively charged electrode.

The order of these bases is called the DNA sequence. Segments of DNA that carry genetic information are called genes, and they are inherited by offspring from their parents during reproduction.

Gray indicates the original DNA strands, and blue indicates newly synthesized DNA. During DNA replication, each of the two strands that make up the double helix serves as a template from which new strands are copied. The new strand will be complementary to the parental or “old” strand.

Since DNA polymerase requires a free 3' OH group for initiation of synthesis, it can synthesize in only one direction by extending the 3' end of the preexisting nucleotide chain. Hence, DNA polymerase moves along the template strand in a 3'–5' direction, and the daughter strand is formed in a 5'–3' direction.

Reading your DNA is a first step in generating your AncestryDNA results. Accuracy is very high when it comes to reading each of the hundreds of thousands of positions (or markers) in your DNA. With current technology, AncestryDNA has, on average, an accuracy rate of over 99 percent for each marker tested.

RNA polymerase synthesizes an RNA transcript complementary to the DNA template strand in the 5' to 3' direction. It moves forward along the template strand in the 3' to 5' direction, opening the DNA double helix as it goes.

DNA had two sides, or strands, and that these strands were twisted together like a twisted ladder -- the double helix. The sides of the ladder comprise the sugar-phosphate portions of adjacent nucleotides bonded together.

One of these is called the leading strand, and it is replicated continuously in the 3' to 5' direction. The other strand is the lagging strand, and it is replicated discontinuously in short sections. These sections are called Okazaki fragments, and they are short lengths of DNA.

mRNA codons are read from 5' to 3' , and they specify the order of amino acids in a protein from N-terminus (methionine) to C-terminus. Translation involves reading the mRNA nucleotides in groups of three; each group specifies an amino acid (or provides a stop signal indicating that translation is finished).

During transcription, the RNA polymerase read the template DNA strand in the 3′→5′ direction, but the mRNA is formed in the 5′ to 3′ direction. The mRNA is single-stranded and therefore only contains three possible reading frames, of which only one is translated.

2. Positive supercoiling is the right-handed, coiling of DNA thus winding occurs in the clockwise direction. ... Although the helix is underwound and has low twisting stress, negative supercoil's knot has high twisting stress. Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes usually have negative supercoiled DNA.

It is not; binary is still read from left to right. However, if you are looking at a binary number, say 10110011, you would typically start from the right, as the bit on the right is the least significant digit, allowing a human accustomed to decimal numbers to "interpret" the binary number.

DNA has two strands. ... If one strand of DNA was known it is possible to use that information to determine the sequence of the second strand because A pairs with T and C pairs with G and there are four possible combinations that your could choose because the second strand is usually opposite from the first stand. 4.

DNA replication occurs in the cytoplasm of prokaryotes and in the nucleus of eukaryotes. Regardless of where DNA replication occurs, the basic process is the same. The structure of DNA lends itself easily to DNA replication. Each side of the double helix runs in opposite (anti-parallel) directions.
