DNA is made up of deoxyribose, phosphate, and nitrogen bases (adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine). The rungs of the ladder are made of two bases joined together with either two or three weak hydrogen bonds.

Which part of the ladder is made of sugars and phosphates?

The sugar-phosphate backbone of DNA is made up of alternating sugar (deoxyribose) and phosphate molecules. These molecules form the "rungs" of the DNA ladder, connecting the nitrogenous bases that make up the steps of the ladder.


What are the sides of the DNA ladder are made up of?

The DNA ladder is made of sugar and phosphates.


What substances makes up the steps of a DNA ladder?

The steps of a DNA ladder are made up of alternating sugar (deoxyribose) and phosphate molecules. The side railing of the ladder is composed of nitrogenous bases (adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine) that connect the two strands of the DNA molecule.


What are the rungs of the steps DNA ladder made of?

The 'steps' or 'rungs' of the DNA 'ladder' are complimentary pairs of bases bonded by hydrogen bonds. The bases are Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine and Guanine. Adenine always bonds to Thymine and Cytosine always bonds to Guanine.


What are the ''rungs'' (steps) of the DNA ladder made of?

The 'steps' or 'rungs' of the DNA 'ladder' are complimentary pairs of bases bonded by hydrogen bonds. The bases are Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine and Guanine. Adenine always bonds to Thymine and Cytosine always bonds to Guanine.


What are the ladders of DNA made of?

The 'steps' on the 'DNA Ladder' are made up of the four nitrogenous bases, Cytosine, Guanine, Thymine, and Adenine, while the pairing bases (Adenine & Thymine, Cytosine & Guanine) are bonded together with a hydrogen bond. The pairing bases (the 'rungs' of the ladder) are connected to the side posts of the ladder, which contain phosphate.


What materials make up the sides and steps of the ladder in DNA?

The sides of the DNA ladder are composed of alternating sugar (deoxyribose) and phosphate groups, which form the backbone of the molecule. The steps of the ladder are made up of nitrogenous base pairs, specifically adenine paired with thymine and cytosine paired with guanine. These base pairs are held together by hydrogen bonds, creating the double helix structure characteristic of DNA.


3 components of DNA?

The three components of DNA are phosphate, deoxyribose sugar, and nitrogen base. A DNA strand looks like a ladder. The "sides" of the ladder are made up by the phosphates and deoxyribose sugars the "steps" are the nitrogen bases.


What substances make up the steps of the DNA ladder?

The steps of the DNA ladder are made up of nitrogenous bases. These bases include adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine. They pair up in a specific manner where adenine pairs with thymine, and cytosine pairs with guanine.


What molecule is made up of steps like a ladder?

You are probably thinking of DNA. The base pairs link the two strands together like a series of steps. However, since it is helical, it might be more accurate to compare it to a spiral staircase.
