This kind of sounds like the same thing. Both are correct depending on how you look at it. If your're talking about how it occurs biochemically then the base is attached to the sugar and phosphate.

What are nucleotides attached to?
Nucleotides are attached to each other through a sugar-phosphate backbone. The phosphate group of one nucleotide is attached to the sugar molecule of another nucleotide, forming a chain. Additionally, nucleotides are also attached to nitrogenous bases, such as adenine, cytosine, guanine, or thymine (in case of DNA) or uracil (in case of RNA).
What is region of nucleotide to which the nitrogen base is attached in DNA?
Deoxyribose (the chain of alternating sugar/phosphate links)
What is the primary energy molecule in living things?
ATP also called adenosine triphosphate.It is based around the same nitrogenous base as the DNA and RNA adenine nucleotide is, except it is not attached to a sugar and has three phosphate groups instead of the one phosphate group that the adenine nucleotide has.
Subunit of DNA consisting of a nitrogeneous base a sugar and a phosphate group?
nucleotide = in a nucleic-acid chain, a subunit that consists of a sugar, a phosphate, and a nitrogenous base. The subunit in a nucleic acid chain that consists of a sugar a phosphate and a nitrogenous base is a nucleotide.
What are the common of a nucleotide?
A nucleotide is composed of: 1.) A nitrogenous base (either a purine such as Adenine or Guanine, or a pyrimidine such as a Thymine or Cytosine; Uracil is the nitrogenous base that replaces Thymine in RNA) 2.) A ribose sugar (5 Carbon ring) 3.) A phosphate group The nitrogenous base is attached to Carbon 1 on the ribose sugar while the phosphate group is attached to Carbon 5 of the same sugar. (That same phosphate group is attached to Carbon 3 of a neighboring sugar when forming a strand.)
What is the name of the molecule to which nucleotide is attached?
They are attached to a deoxyribose sugar.
What is the name of the specific molecule to which the nucleotide is attached?
They are attached to a deoxyribose sugar.
What is the name of the specific molecule to which nucleotide is attached?
They are attached to a deoxyribose sugar.
The three parts of a nucleotide and how they are attached to one another?
because they are okay!
What is the name of the specific molecule to which each base is attached?
They are attached to a deoxyribose sugar.
Which molecule of the Dna upright is the nucleotide rung attached to?
The nucleotide 'rung' covalently attaches [chemically bonds] to the Ribose sugar moiety of the Dna's phosphate-sugar backbone.
What are nucleotides attached to?
Nucleotides are attached to each other through a sugar-phosphate backbone. The phosphate group of one nucleotide is attached to the sugar molecule of another nucleotide, forming a chain. Additionally, nucleotides are also attached to nitrogenous bases, such as adenine, cytosine, guanine, or thymine (in case of DNA) or uracil (in case of RNA).
What is region of nucleotide to which the nitrogen base is attached in DNA?
Deoxyribose (the chain of alternating sugar/phosphate links)
For DNA polymerase to link nucleotide together as new strands of DNA the first nucleotide must be attached to a because DNA polymerase can only add nucleotides to a pre-existing strand?
RNA Primer
What is the region of nucleotide to which the nitrogen base is attached in DNA?
Deoxyribose (the chain of alternating sugar/phosphate links)
True or false nucleotide bases already attached to proteins form the copied side of the DNA ladder?
depends on the picture
What is a monomer of nucleic acids?
Nucleotide is the monomer. Nucleotide is the monomer of Nucleic Acids.
