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.
sugar and phosphate.
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.
thymine
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.
Nucleus of the cell
deoxyribose, phosphate, guanine, tyrosine, adenine, and cytosine are the components of DNA
The subunits that make up DNA are called nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of three components: a phosphate group, a deoxyribose sugar, and a nitrogenous base (adenine, thymine, cytosine, or guanine). These nucleotides link together to form the DNA strand, creating the genetic blueprint for living organisms.
