Nucleotides (Nitrogeneous bases, deoxyribose, phosphate group)
DNA molecules consist of a sugar (deoxyribose), a phosphate and a nitrogenous base. Together, these three components are called a nucleotide.
The double-stranded DNA molecule is held together by four chemical components called nucleotides. These nucleotides are adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine, and they form base pairs with each other to create the structure of DNA.
Replication enables cellular components to copy themselves independent of DNA.
The three components of DNA polymerase are a polymerase domain responsible for synthesizing new DNA strands, a proofreading domain for error correction, and a domain that binds to the DNA template strand.
The main components of a replication machine include DNA helicase, which unwinds the DNA double helix; DNA polymerase, which adds new nucleotides to the growing DNA strand; primase, which synthesizes RNA primers for DNA replication to start; and DNA ligase, which joins the Okazaki fragments on the lagging strand. These components work together to ensure accurate and efficient replication of DNA.

What components make up the backbone of DNA
RNA and DNA both contain sugar molecules, but the sugar component in RNA is ribose, while the sugar component in DNA is deoxyribose. Ribose has an extra oxygen atom compared to deoxyribose, which is why DNA is called deoxyribonucleic acid.
deoxyribose, phosphate, guanine, tyrosine, adenine, and cytosine are the components of DNA
Nucleus of the cell
A nucleotide of DNA is composed of three main components: a phosphate group, a five-carbon sugar molecule (deoxyribose), and a nitrogenous base (which can be adenine, thymine, cytosine, or guanine). These components work together to form the building blocks of DNA, linking together to create the DNA strand.
