What are the two parts of the DNA that make up the sides of the double helix?

I'm not sure I understand your question, but DNA is a huge molecule formed by two very long polynucleotide strands. They are linked together by hydrogen bonds between complimentary pairs of nitrogen bases. It looks something like a ladder. Sugar-phosphate would be like the rails of the ladder and the paired nitrogen bases would be like the steps. Hope this helps somewhat.

What make up both side of DNA double helix ladder?
The sides of the DNA double helix ladder is composed of alternating phosphate groups and deoxyribose sugars.
How many stands make up DNA double helix?
The DNA double helix contains two coiled biopolymer strands. The double helix was discovered by James Watson and Francis Crick.
What are the sides of the DNA ladder composed of?
The sides of the DNA ladder is composed of sugar and phosphate. 4 bases that make up the rungs of the DNA ladder are A, T, G, and C. The shape of the DNA is a double helix or twisted ladder.
How do you make a double helix model?
One way might be to get a flexible ladder and then turn both ends in opposite directions on its axis, in other words twist it. The result should be quite similar to a DNA double helix. You can use beads: http://www.instructables.com/id/The_Double_Helix_Glass_Bead_DNA_model/
What are the four nitrogen bases that make up the rungs of the double helix?
In DNA, the four bases are: adenine, guanine, thymine and cytosine.
What make up both side of DNA double helix ladder?
The sides of the DNA double helix ladder is composed of alternating phosphate groups and deoxyribose sugars.
Did James Watson make the double helix?
Watson and Crick were the first to figure out the shape of DNA, which turns out to be a double helix. They did not make it, they observed it.
Double helix definition?
the double helix refers to the SHAPE OF A DNA MOLECULE!!! It isn't that hard of a connection to make.
Describe The structure of the double helix?
The structure of a DOUBLE HELIX is called the sugar phosphate backbone and gives the double helix its crisscrossing spiral appearance and it also has the job of holding everything together on the double helix, [Ex.: The sugar phosphate backbone is like the sides of a ladder, its what the bars in the middle of the ladder are attached to, (Bars= HYDROGEN BONDS) and without the sides of the ladder (without the sugar phosphate backbone) the middle bars can't make up the ladder (just like hydrogen bonds can't make up a double helix without something supporting it, not including the other parts of a double helix such as the nitrogenous bases, the nucleotides, the phosphate, and the sugar KNOWN AS DEOXYRIBOSE FOUND ONLY IN A DOUBLE HELIX.)]A single helix sugar is different from a double helix sugar, a single helix sugar is called ribose and a double helix sugar is called deoxyribose.
How many stands make up DNA double helix?
The DNA double helix contains two coiled biopolymer strands. The double helix was discovered by James Watson and Francis Crick.
What discovery did Watson and Crick make about the structure of DNA?
They discovered the double helix.
What molecules come together to make a DNA molecule?
Nucleotides which formed double helix.
How does the parts of a nucleic acid connect together to make a complete DNA molecule?
In a helix spiral
What are the sides of the DNA ladder composed of?
The sides of the DNA ladder is composed of sugar and phosphate. 4 bases that make up the rungs of the DNA ladder are A, T, G, and C. The shape of the DNA is a double helix or twisted ladder.
What are the three main componets that make up DNA?
The groups are 1. Phosphate 2. Deoxyribose sugar 3. Nitrogen base The phosphates and deoxyribose sugars make up the sides of the helix (alternating one after the other) and nitrogen bases are the "rungs" of the helix.
What 2 molecules make up the sides of the DNA molecule?
DNA is made up of a phosphate group attached to a pentose sugar. The inner part of the double helix consists of the final part of DNA, nitrogenous bases connected through hydrogen bonds.
