What elements makes the backbone of DNA molecules?
A sugar phosphate group called deoxyribose attached to a nitrogenous base.
What is the backbone of DNA made of?
Phosphates and sugars.
What is the backbone of DNA molecules made of?
Deoxyribose sugar and phosphate group
What sugar makes up the backbone for DNA?
deoxyiribose.
What units make up The backbone of the DNA molecule?
Phosphate and sugar molecules
The two molecules that alternate to form the backbone of a polynucleotide chain are?
Like DNA, the backbone of RNA consists of a sugar molecule and a phosphate group; the difference is that in RNA the sugar is ribose, whereas in DNA it's deoxyribose.
What 2 substances make up the backbone or the sides of the DNA molecule?
The sugar-phosphate backbone of DNA is made up of deoxyribose (a sugar) and phosphate.
Each DNA strand has a backbone that consists of alternating?
sugar and phosphate units/molecules.
Why does the DNA backbone not line up at each end?
The structure of DNA can be compared to a ladder. It has an alternating chemical phosphate and sugar backbone, making the "sides" of the ladder. (Deoxyribose is the name of the sugar found in the backbone of DNA.) In between the two sides of this sugar-phosphate backbone are four nitrogenous bases: adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G). (A grouping like this of a phosphate, a sugar, and a base makes up a subunit of DNA called a nucleotide.) These bases make up the "rungs" of the ladder, and are attached to the backbone where the deoxyribose (sugar) molecules are located.
What molecules make up the backbone of a DNA molecule?
The backbone of the DNA molecule consists of a sugar, deoxyribose and a phosphate group. --(sugars and phosphates)
What is the backbone of DNA and RNA?
The backbone of DNA is made up of deoxyribose, a sugar, and are linked together by phosphodiester bonds. RNA is similar but the sugar is called ribose.
The backbone of two DNA molecules are made up of what two components?
deoxyribose sugar and a phospahte
