A sugar (deoxyribose), a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base (adenine, thymine, cytosine or guanine).

P, O, C, N, H, (and some associated metal ions, though not technically necessary to make up DNA).

Three thing make the structure of a DNA molecule?

The structure of a DNA molecule is made up of three things: a sugar-phosphate backbone, nucleotide bases (adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine), and hydrogen bonds that form between the bases. These components form the double helix shape of the DNA molecule.

Is the sides of the DNA molecule are made up of repeating nitrogen bases and sugars?

The sides of the DNA molecule are made up of repeating sugar-phosphate groups, not nitrogen bases. The nitrogen bases are arranged in the middle of the DNA molecule and form the rungs of the double helix structure.


What is a DNA nucleotide made up of?

What are 3 components of the DNA nucleotide?

The three components that create a DNA nucleotide are a phosphate group, a nitrogenous base [this will be either Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, or Thymine], and a Sugar [deoxyribose, which is how we get the D in DNA].


What 3 things is nucleotide made of?

A Nucleotide are molecules that when combined make the structural units of DNA and RNA. An actual nucleotide is made up of small components. These components are; Phosphates Sugar Heterocyclic Base


How many molecules of eukaryotic DNA make up a chromosome in humans?

A chromosome in humans is made up of one long DNA molecule. This DNA molecule is double-stranded and contains thousands of genes.


What is the difference between DNA Molecule and RNA molecule?

A DNA molecule is made up of deoxyribose sugar while RNA is made up of ribose sugar. A DNA molecule is double stranded whilst a RNA molecule is single stranded. A DNA molecule only contains the bases; Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine and Guanine. However a RNA molecule contains the bases; Uracil, Thymine, Cytosine and Guanine. DNA is only found in the nucleus of a cell, while RNA is found in the cytoplasm.


The rungs or steps of DNA are made up of nitrogenous bases deoxyribose phosphatewhich are attached to the sides or railings of DNA which are made up of?

The sides or railings of DNA are made up of alternating sugar (deoxyribose) and phosphate molecules, forming the backbone of the DNA molecule. The rungs or steps of DNA are made up of nitrogenous bases (adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine) which form hydrogen bonds to connect the two strands of the DNA molecule in a complementary manner.
