What part of the DNA backbone do nitrogen bases bond to?
the deoxyribose sugar
In what part of DNA is the genetic code stored?
In the Nitrogen bases, or nucleotides. The are in the "middle" of the DNA, in between the sugar-phosphate backbone.
What forms the backbone of the DNA molecule?
nitrogeous bases
What substance make up the rungs of the DNA ladder?
The uprights are called the backbone and is made up of ribose (a pentose sugar) and phosphate. The rungs are the bases that are the actual coding bit of DNA. These are carbon and nitrogen-based molecules that attach to the backbone. The bases pair up opposite to each other and bind together loosely by forming only hydrogen bonds.
What happens after the DNA splits?
Random bases attach.
What part of the DNA backbone do nitrogen bases bond to?
the deoxyribose sugar
Which enzyme is added to attach the DNA backbone between vetor and foreign DNA that have formed bases pairs at sticky ends during of recombinant DNA?
DNA ligase is added.
What enzyme is added to attach the DNA backbone between vector and foreign DNA?
DNA ligase
In what part of DNA is the genetic code stored?
In the Nitrogen bases, or nucleotides. The are in the "middle" of the DNA, in between the sugar-phosphate backbone.
What enzyme called is added to attach the DNA backbone between vector and foreign DNA?
DNA ligase
What substance is the sugar deoxyribose found in?
In deoxyribose nucleic acid. DNA, as part of the backbone the nitrogenous bases are hung on.
What forms the backbone of the DNA molecule?
nitrogeous bases
What do all four DNA bases attach to?
I am not exactly sure what you mean, and there are a couple of different ways I can answer this. First, if you are talking about what they attach to during transcription/translation (protein synthesis), they eventually attach to their anti-codon's, which then attach to the corresponding amino acids to build a protein. If you are talking about what they physically attach to when in the double helix form (DNA), then the answer is a phosphate deoxyribose backbone.

What do bases attach to on the DNA ladder?
The bases are:(A) Adenine(T) Thymine(G) Guanine(C) CytosineAdenine always pairs with Thymine. Guanine always pairs with Cytosine. Think of the word AT for Adenine and Thymine. Think of the store G.N.C (just the G.C. part) for Guanine and Cytosine.
What is found in both RNA and DNA?
DNA and RNA both have a sugar-phosphate backbone and nitrogenous bases. The bases found in both DNA and RNA are Adenine, Guanine and Cytosine.
