Document Summary

Absorption spectrum- a plot of the intensity of light absorbed relative to its wavelength. Denaturation- the unfolding or disorganization of a protein from its native or fully folded state. Has a double helix structure which is anti-parallel, has a 5" and 3" Complementary base pairing occurs through hydrogen bonding: a- Made of a phosphate backbone with a sugar called deoxyribose. Contains 2 types of nitrogenous bases: purines (g,a) and pyrimidines (t,c) o o o o. Pyrimidines is made of a single ring, purines have 2 rings. Is a polynucleotide chain, and absorbs light in the ultraviolet range. A-t 2 hydrogen bonds and g-c three hydrogen bonds. The base composition changes from animal to animal thus cause differences in genetic information. Dna absorbs light in the uv range and it is mainly absorbed by the ring structures o o strand o o. Absorbance increases after dna becomes denatured into a single.

Related Questions

Why do purine:purine and pyrimidine:pyrimidine complements not exist?

a.Because purines form 3 Hydrogen bonds and pyrimidines only 2

b.Because the anti-parallel arrangement of DNA strands prevents them.

c.If only purine:pyrimidine pairs are permitted the helix will remain uniform in width from end to end.

d.Because DNA polymerase cannot initiate strand synthesis on its own.
