Sugar. The backbone of the DNA molecule is composed of ribose and phosphate, but the bases which make up the "rungs" of DNA are always connected to the sugar. The phosphate is used to bond the sugars together into long strings.

What two chemicals make up the rungs of the DNA ladder?
phosphate and sugar
What 3 parts make up the rungs of the DNA ladder?
The rungs of the DNA ladder are composed of alternating deoxyribose sugar molecules and phosphate groups.
What are the sides of DNA ladder made out of?
The Sides of this ladder equate to the Dna's Sugar-Phosphate Backbone; the Rungs of this ladder equate to the Hydrogen-bonding that takes place between base pairs.
Which enzyme is responsible for creating the covalent bonds that connect the sugar phosphate back bone of the new DNA molecules?
An enzyme called HELICASE breaks the sugar to phosphate bonds in DNA strands to initiate DNA replication and DNA transcription.
What is the sequence of subunits in the DNA backbone?
The sequence of subunits in the DNA backbone is phosphate, sugar, phosphate, sugar, phosphate, and sugar. The coding region is the code for protein sequence.
What is found in the sides of DNA molecules but not on the rungs?
I belive that would be a Sugar-Phosphate.
What two chemicals make up the rungs of the DNA ladder?
phosphate and sugar
What 3 parts make up the rungs of the DNA ladder?
The rungs of the DNA ladder are composed of alternating deoxyribose sugar molecules and phosphate groups.
What structures form the rungs of the DNA double helix?
The rungs of the DNA double helix are made up of alternating deoxyribose sugar molecules and phosphate molecules. Please refer to the related link below.
What is found in the sides of a DNA molecule and not on the rungs?
phosphate
What are the sides of the DNA ladder composed of?
The sides of the DNA ladder is composed of sugar and phosphate. 4 bases that make up the rungs of the DNA ladder are A, T, G, and C. The shape of the DNA is a double helix or twisted ladder.
What are the sides of DNA ladder made out of?
The Sides of this ladder equate to the Dna's Sugar-Phosphate Backbone; the Rungs of this ladder equate to the Hydrogen-bonding that takes place between base pairs.
Is a nucleotide a phosphate sugar nitrogen base?
In a nucleotide the 5-carbon sugar is bonded to the phosphate group, which is bonded to the nitrogenous base. In a chain of nucleotides (a strand of DNA), the nucleotides are connected by covalent bonds between the sugar of one nucleotide, and the phosphate group of the next nucleotide.
What makes up the rungs for DNA?
The backbone is made from deoxyribose (sugar) and phosphate and the 'rungs' are the nitrogenous bases; A, T, C and G.
Which enzyme is responsible for creating the covalent bonds that connect the sugar phosphate back bone of the new DNA molecules?
An enzyme called HELICASE breaks the sugar to phosphate bonds in DNA strands to initiate DNA replication and DNA transcription.
What is the sequence of subunits in the DNA backbone?
The sequence of subunits in the DNA backbone is phosphate, sugar, phosphate, sugar, phosphate, and sugar. The coding region is the code for protein sequence.
What are other names for Dna monomers?
For the Dna [sugar-phosphate] backbone there are two types of monomers - the ribose [5 carbon] sugar and the [PO4 minus] phosphate moiety. The Four Handshake Bases that form 'the rungs of the Dna Ladder' are the nucleotide base monomers. Their Names are the pairs Adenine with Guanine and the pairs Cytosine with Thymine.
