Yes, nitrogen is found in nucleic acids in the form of nitrogenous base. Actually, nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) are linear polymers of nucleotides (a purine or pyrimidine nitrogenous base + a pentose sugar + a phosphate group).

Predict the type of bond that is present between phosphorus and oxygen in a dna molecule?

A phosphodiester bond is the type of bond that is present between phosphorus and oxygen in a DNA molecule. This bond forms between the phosphate group of one nucleotide and the hydroxyl group of another nucleotide, linking the nucleotides together in a DNA backbone.


33P is a radioactive isotope of phosphorus. Can 33P be used to make a radioactive nucleotide?

Yes, 33P can be used to label nucleotides and create radioactive nucleotides. This is because 33P is a radioactive isotope that can be incorporated into molecules, such as nucleotides, allowing researchers to track their behavior in biological systems.


What are the black pentagons in DNA?

The black pentagons in a DNA structure typically represent the phosphorus atoms found in the DNA backbone. These phosphorus atoms help to form the backbone of the DNA molecule, connecting the nucleotide bases and providing structural stability to the molecule.
