Best Answer

Chromosomes are comprised of nucleotides and nitrogen base pairs. The nucleotides make up the columns of the DNA structure, and are repeating sequences of a 5-carbon sugar and a phosphate.

The "rungs" of the DNA structure, similar to the rungs (steps) of a ladder, and made up of four variations of nitrogen base pairs.
