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.

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.
Is phosphorus a nucleotide?
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).
What is the beta and gamma phosphate?
This is referring to the structure of nucleotide tri-phosphates. The structure of these molecules includes three phosphate groups. The first phosphate attached to the nucleotide (usually adenosine or guanine) is called the alpha phosphate. The second is called the beta, and the third the gamma. They are named after the first three letters of the Greek alphabet.
What is the chemical composition of chromatin?
Chromatin is the nucleoprotein material of chromosomes. It is made up of DNA attached to a protein structure, together with chromosomal RNA.
What monomer is made up of a base a sugar and a phosphate group?
Nucleotide:)
What three parts make up a DNA nucleotide?
The monomers of DNA are called nucleotides, each nucleotide has three parts:PHOSPHATESUGAR ( Deoxyribose)NITROGEN BASE
Which part of a dna nucleotide contains a negative charge?
The DNA nucleotide consists of three parts: a phosphate group, a 5-carbon sugar, and a nitrogenous base. The portion of the nucleotide that contains a negative charge is the phosphate group.
