DNA (Deoxy ribo-nucleic acid) is made up of structures known as nucleotides, there are four nucleotides from which all the DNA coding has been written, which are as follow :
adenine (a purine)
cytosine (a pyrimidine)
guanine (a purine)
thymine (a pyrimidine)

∙ 13y agoDNA is made up of four nucleic acids: guanine (G), cytosine (C), thymine (T) and adenine (A). (Nucleic because DNA is found in the nucleus of the cell.) Because of the structure of these nucleic acids G & C bond together, and A & T bond together. That appearance of G, C, T, or A in a string of a DNA molecule are ordered by their connection to a string of sugar molecules. Where a G appears on one side of the helix, a C appears on the other side, and vice versa. Likewise, for the A and T. Thus, the "double" helix - the appearance of the one side of the helix is mirrored by the complementary nucleic acids on the other side.
The basic elements, from the Periodic Table of elements, of life were always taught in my day as CHON - carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. The magic ingredient that helps these elements create energy (and thus, life) in their various combinations in living organisms is (usually) phosphorus (P). Other elements may be present in various cells or parts of cells, but these are the ones that comprise the basic building blocks of living things. On this planet. So far. Probably. ;-) Gotta love the "certitude" of science!

What are the 4 bases the make up the rungs of the DNA ladder?
what are 4 bases that make up the rungs of the DNA ladder
Why can the structure of DNA be called a code?
DNA is composed of nucleotides, which each contain a nitrogenous base. The order of these bases is what determines the end product (protein) created by the DNA. Three of these bases make up what is known as a codon. This corresponds to a particular amino acid, which is added to the protein being created when this codon is read. So the bases of DNA code for certain amino acids.
How does the structure of the DNA allow genetic information to be stored?
it is made up by chomosomes which is the dna sequence and takes place in every cell you have. but if one of the chomosome is missing it can make the person mutate
What are the three stuff that make up DNA?
Deoxyribose, Nitrogen bases, and Phosphate
Constituents of DNA?
Components of DNA include purine bases and pyrimidine bases (which, when combined, make up base pairs), deoyribose sugars, nucleotides and nucleosides.

What makes up the side of the ''ladder'' of a DNA molecule?
The sides of the DNA latter consist of the sugar deoxyribose and phosphates. The bond between the latter and the nitrogen bases together is known a a nucleotide. Nucleotides are molecules that make up the structure of DNA and RNA.
DNA supercoils to make up the structure known as a?
chromosome

Which four bases make up a molecule of DNA?
The bases in DNA are: Adenine(A), Thymine(T), Guanine(G), Cytosine(C) when they pair up: A-T, C-T
Sugar phosphate and what make up the DNA molecule?
Nitrogenous bases (ATCG)
What Name the nitrogen bases that make up DNA?
A,T,G, and C
What 4 bases make up DNA?
adenine thymine cytosine guanine

How many rings do adenine and guanine have?
Adenine and guanine molecules are two of the four nitrogenous bases that help make up the structure of DNA. They are also known as "purine" bases because they have a double ring structure. The purine bases are extremely important in DNA formation and they specifically pair up with the other two nitrogenous bases, known as the "pyrimidine" bases. Adenine molecules will always pair with thymine molecules and guanine molecules will always pair with cytosine.
