What are nitrogen bases made up of two rings called?

Nitrogen bases are made up of hydrogen bonds, phosphate, and sugar


What are nitrogen bases attached to?

Nitrogen bases are attached to the sugar-phosphate backbone of nucleic acids like DNA and RNA through covalent bonds. These bases form the rungs of the DNA double helix and play a crucial role in carrying genetic information.


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 are three compounds of a DNA nucleotide?

The three components of DNA are: base, sugar, and phosphate. A molecule of DNA consists of two strands. Each strand is a linear series of nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of a base (a purine or pyrimidine), a pentose (five-carbon sugar), and a phosphate group. The sugar is between the base and the phosphate. In a strand, nucleotides are combined through their sugars and phosphates, in such a way that alternating sugars and phosphates form a sugar-phosphate backbone. The bases project at right angles to this backbone.


What is the Sugar phosphate backbone of the DNA?

THE BACKBONE OF DNA IS FORMED OF NUCLEOTIDES LINKED BY PHOSPHODIESTER BOND.A nucleotide consists of following three compounds1. Pentose sugar :- It is a 5 membered ring sugar. Out of these 5 members four are carbon and one is oxygen. The pntose sugar in case of DNA is deoxyribose.2. Nitrogen Base :- It is a nitrogen containg basic ring compound. They are broadly classified into 2 categories-Pyrines and pyrimidines. These are further divided into 5 nitrogen bases. They are Adenine,Guanine,Cytocine, Thymine, Uracil. Out of these 5 bases only four are present in DNA and only one occurs in it at a time.DNA does not have Uracil. The 7th or 9th nitrogen of the nitrogen base are linked to the 1st carbon of pentose sugar by glycosidic bond3. Phosphate group :-It is a derivative of phosphoric acid and is attached to 5th carbon of pentose sugar by ester bond formed by dehydration synthesisTwo nucleotides in DNA are liked by phospho diester bond formed between -OH of phosphate group of one nucleotide and 3rd carbon of pentose sugar ofadjacent nucleotide.

What chemicals connect to what in a dna strand?

The backbone of the DNA molecule is composed of alternating deoxyribose sugars and phosphate groups. The nitrogen bases are bonded to the sugar molecules. The two strands of DNA are held together by hydrogen bonds between the nitrogen bases of both strands.


The nucleotides forming DNA are composed of what three molecular components?

Both DNA and Rna are composed of, first, the sugar-phosphate backbone. The sugar is ribose and the phosphate is a PO4 (-2) moiety. Reaching laterally are the third components - the nucleotide bases.

What are the rungs of the RNA ladder made of?

DNA ladder is made up of a phosphate group, 5-carbon sugar, and nitrogen bases. 5-carbon sugar is deoxiribose in DNA. these nitrogen bases are adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine. in these nitrogen bases, adenine bonds with thymine, and guanine bonds with cytosin. In this DNA ladder, the phosphate group and 5-carbon sugar act as two sides of the ladder and the middle of the ladder is nitrogen pair bases.-SALMA ABRAHIM(:
