The DNA molecule consists of paired nucleotides that make each "rung" of the ladder. Each nucleotide is made up of a one of four nitrogenous bases (adenine, guanine, cytosine, or thymine), a five-carbon sugar (either ribose or 2'-deoxyribose), and a phosphate molecule.

There are just very slightly more than ten nucleotide base pairs per [360 degree] turn of the Dna double helix 'strand'.

∙ 12y agoDNA is a long molecule, like a chain, where the links of the chain are pieces called nucleotides (sometimes also called 'bases').
'Base' or 'basic group' refers to just the nitrogen/carbon rings, and the term 'nucleotides' to refer to the entire structure.

When one dna molecule replicated the result is two dna molecules what is true of the second dna molecule?
DNA actually has 3 forms. A-DNA, B-DNA, and Z-DNA. B-DNA is the kind you are most familiar with and present in most organisms. A-DNA can be found in dehydrated samples while Z-DNA is rare and mostly synthesized in the lab.
When using DNA as a template to make a complementary strand of RNA this is called?
The process in which a mRNA molecule forms (by base-pairing) along a part of a DNA molecule is called transcription.
A characteristic of a DNA molecule that is not a characteristic of a protein molecule is that the DNA molecule?
A characteristic of a DNA molecule that is not characteristic of a protein molecule is that the DNA molecule can replicate itself.
How many DNA molecule in a chromatid?
Each chromosome is originally made of one DNA molecule.
What property of DNA makes it possible for a probe to find a single-stranded DNA target gene?
a DNA molecule has two paired strands. ~
What pair forms a rung in the DNA ladder?
The base of the nucleotides
What forms the backbone of the DNA molecule?
nitrogeous bases
Name the steps of DNA molecule?
Look in a science book
What pairs of molecules form the steps in the DNA molecule?
nitrogenous bases
What arrangement of two bases in the DNA molecule forms?
Base Pair
Which type of nucleic acid molecule forms a double helix?

What is the molecule found in the nucleus of cells that forms a double helix?
DNA

Which part of DNA forms the double-helix structure?
All of it, that is the shape of the molecule.
What part of the molecule forms sides of the ladder?
DNA (standing for DeoxyriboNucleic Acid)
What structure in the nucleus holds the DNA?
The DNA molecule forms a double helix. The linear DNA chromosomes of eukaryotes form a highly supercoiled double helix.
Why is phosphorus an important biological molecule?
Because it forms vital molecules such as DNA and RNA.
