Why does the DNA backbone not line up at each end?
The structure of DNA can be compared to a ladder. It has an alternating chemical phosphate and sugar backbone, making the "sides" of the ladder. (Deoxyribose is the name of the sugar found in the backbone of DNA.) In between the two sides of this sugar-phosphate backbone are four nitrogenous bases: adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G). (A grouping like this of a phosphate, a sugar, and a base makes up a subunit of DNA called a nucleotide.) These bases make up the "rungs" of the ladder, and are attached to the backbone where the deoxyribose (sugar) molecules are located.
What makes up the sides orbackbone ofa DNA molecule?
Alternating deoxyribose and phosphate molecules.
What type of DNA are holding the molecule together?
What components make up the backbone of DNA
What forms the backbone of the DNA double helix molecule?
The backbone of a DNA chain is sugar and phosphate groups of each nucleotide.
DNA is made up of nucleotide bases bonded to a?
Sugar and Phosphate backbone
What makes up the rail or sides of the DNA structure?

What makes up the outside of the dna ladder?
The sugar phosphate backbone.
What makes up the back bone of a DNA molecule?
Deoxyribose sugars and phosphates make up the backbone of DNA.
What makes up the sides of the DNA ladder?
Phosphate and sugar make up the sides of a DNA ladder.
What type of sugar makes up the backbone of the DNA molecule?
The sugar found in the backbone of DNA is the deoxyribose.
What makes up the sides of the ladder a DNA molecule?
The backbone of the DNA molecule is made up of a sugar (deoxyribose) bonded to a phosphate group bonded to another sugar and then another phosphate and so on. These are very strong covalent bonds that are not easily broken.
What 2 substances make up the backbone or the sides of the DNA molecule?
The sugar-phosphate backbone of DNA is made up of deoxyribose (a sugar) and phosphate.
The name of the five-carbon sugar that makes up a part of the backbone of molecules of DNA is what?
Deoxyribose.
What are the two components that make up of the backbone of the DNA?
Sugar and phosphate are the parts that make up the DNA backbone.
