∙ 13y agoWatson and Crick determined that DNA is a molecule that is a
double helix - two strands twisted around each other, like a
winding staircase. Each strand is made up of linked nucleotides.
Nucleotides are the subunits that make up DNA. Each nucleotide
is made up of three parts: a phosphate group, a five-carbon sugar
molecule, and a nitrogen base. The five-carbon sugar in DNA
nucleotides is called deoxyribose, from which DNA gets it's full
name, deoxyriboncleic acid.

∙ 12y agoIt is because the adenine , guanine , cytosin , thyamin etc hav N in their cyclic bond
This can take H with 2 free paired electrons . So they are called bases.
