In a single strand of dna the phosphate group binds to what?
It binds to a Deoxyribose sugar. Thus, the structure of DNA is Phosphate-Deoxyribose-Nitrogenous Base.
How are the sugar phosphate backbones of a DNA molecule different?
Sugar phosphate backbones do not include the nucleic acids of the DNA. They are composed of a sugar and a phosphate group bonded to each other.
Is a nucleotide a phosphate sugar nitrogen base?
In a nucleotide the 5-carbon sugar is bonded to the phosphate group, which is bonded to the nitrogenous base. In a chain of nucleotides (a strand of DNA), the nucleotides are connected by covalent bonds between the sugar of one nucleotide, and the phosphate group of the next nucleotide.
Where are phosphates in your body?
phosphates are in skeleton, the cell membrane, DNA, and RNA.
What is the function of phosphate group in DNA nucleotides?
The phosphate in DNA bonds the 5 sugars together, and is also a backbone for the DNA strand :D
Is a phosphate DNA or RNA?
Both DNA and RNA contain a sugar phosphate group as the backbone to their structure. In DNA the sugar is deoxyribose, where as in RNA it is just ribose.
DNA and RNA are made up of nuceotides which contain what?
A sugar, a base, and a phosphate group.
In addition to a phosphate group's a DNA nucleotide could contain?
Deoxyribose sugar and thymine
What three combinations of substances do individual nucleotides of DNA contain?
A purine or pyrimidine base;A sugar;A phosphate group.
What are examples of a phosphate group?
A biological molecule that contains a phosphate group are nucleotides. Nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) consist of a five carbon sugar, an organic base, and a phosphate group.
What type of bond is formed between the hydroxyl group of one nucleotide and the phosphate group of an adjacent nucleotide forming the sugar-phosphate backbone of DNA?
These types of chemical bonds are called covalent bonds. Note though that the sugar-phosphate backbone does not contain nucleotides - except as like a side branch.
DNA sugar phosphate backbone?
Yes, sugar deoxyribose and a phosphate group forms the backbone in the DNA.
What is the spine of DNA?
Doxyribose and phosphate group
How much phosphate molecules are inside the DNA?
There are an estimated 3 billion base pairs inside of human DNA. Each base contains one phosphate group so each base pair would contain two. Ergo, there would be an estimated 6 billion phosphate groups in human DNA.
What three components make up a dna nucleotide?
Out of these options: cytidine, phosphate group, ribose Guanine, phosphate group, ribose adenine, phosphate group, ribose cytosine, phosphate group, ribose deoxyribose, phosphate group, thymine deoxyribose, phosphate group, uracil The answer is: deoxyribose, phosphate group, thymine
Do both DNA and RNA nucleotides have a phosphate part?
Yes, they have a phosphate group.
In a single strand of dna the phosphate group binds to what?
It binds to a Deoxyribose sugar. Thus, the structure of DNA is Phosphate-Deoxyribose-Nitrogenous Base.
