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.
Do the four nitrogen bases connect to phosphate or sugar?
The four nitrogen bases in DNA (adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine) connect to the sugar component (deoxyribose) of the nucleotides through covalent bonds. The phosphate group then connects to the sugar molecule to form the backbone of the DNA molecule.
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 are nitrogen bases made up of two rings called?
Nitrogen bases are made up of hydrogen bonds, phosphate, and sugar
Which two nitrogenous bases are bound by three hydrogen bonds?
Guanine and cytosine are the two nitrogenous bases that are bound by three hydrogen bonds in a DNA molecule. This specific pairing is essential for maintaining the stability of the DNA double helix structure.

Does mutation change the order sugars DNA molecule?
No. Mutation changes the sequence of nitrogen bases in a DNA molecule.
How how does a nitrogen bases in the DNA molecule?
its 4
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.
What is Nucleosides and Nucleotides?
neucleosides are pentose sugars without nitrogen base while neucleotides are pentose sugars with nitrogen bases on first carbon atom
If DNA molecule is compared to a spiral staircase what part make up the steps?
pairs of nitrogen bases
What determines genetic codes?
the number of nitrogen bases in a DNA molecule
Which pair of nitrogen bases will form a bond in a DNA molecule?
The two chains are connected by hydrogen bonding between nitrogen bases to form a long double-stranded molecule.So hydrogen bonding determines which nitrogen bases form pairs of DNA.
Is amino acid a double spiral molecule with pairs of nitrogen bases?
No its a DNA
The main purpose of DNA is to store information. Where is information stored within a DNA molecule?
It is stored within the sequence of nitrogen bases.
