Which type of compound is found in every DNA molecule?

Nitrogen Containing Base This molecule is called DeoxyriboNucleic Acid. (DNA). Genetic information is found as a sequence of nucleotides (guanine, adenine, thymine, and cytosine)using the letters G, A, T, and C. Most DNA molecules are double-stranded helices (twisted ladders), consisting of two long repeating simple units called nucleotides plus molecules with backbones made of alternating sugars (deoxyribose) and phosphate groups with the bases G, A, T, C attached to the sugars.
