There are 3 main chemical components of DNA. They are phosphate, a sugar called deoxyribose and a nitrogenous base (adenine, thymine, cytosine or guanine). These three components form a nucleotide.
Deoxyribose contains 5 carbon atoms (1', 2', 3', 4', 5') in its structure. Within the nucleotide, the phosphate is bonded to the 5' carbon atom of deoxyribose and the nitrogenous base is bonded to the 1' carbon atom. These bonds are covalent. Each nucleotide is bonded to the next by a bond between the 3' carbon atom of the deoxyribose sugar of one nucleotide to the phosphate of the next. The nitrogenous base varies from one nucleotide to another.
In DNA, two long chains of nucleotides are joined together in a double helix structure, often described as a twisted ladder. The two chains are held together by hydrogen bonding between the nitrogenous bases. Adenine on one side is always bonded to thymine on the other, and vice-verse, and the same goes for cytosine and guanine.

What are some words that describe DNA?
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a biological molecule that contains the genetic code that determines the form and function of all living organisms (except RNA viruses). The genetic information in DNA contains the precise instructions for constructing components of cells, and it is this by following these instructions that living organisms have evolved and developed to look and operate the way they do. Therefore, words that embody the essence of DNA include heredity, transcription genetic code, genetic instructions, biological form and function, so on and so forth. Also, words such as double helix and polymer backbone describe the structure of DNA molecules, which is largely responsible for producing the molecular interactions that dictate the process by which DNA is replicated and transcribed.
Describe the components of the specific and general environment?
These have many components that you may be familiar with. The general environment is just where you live and the specific will be like your home or your work.
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.
Which part makes up the backbone of a DNA strand?
It not 1, but four components that make up the strand. These 4 nucleotides are guanine, cytosine, thymine, and adenine (G-C-T-A)
How would you describe the appearance of DNA molecule?
DNA stands for deoxiribonucliec acid and is shown in the form of a double helix. DNA particles themselves are two small for the naked eye to see but forms of DNA are things such as: hair strands, Nail clippings, fingerprints, skin cells, saliva, ect. basically anything that is part of your body.
Describe the components of the replication machine.?
The main components of a replication machine include DNA helicase, which unwinds the DNA double helix; DNA polymerase, which adds new nucleotides to the growing DNA strand; primase, which synthesizes RNA primers for DNA replication to start; and DNA ligase, which joins the Okazaki fragments on the lagging strand. These components work together to ensure accurate and efficient replication of DNA.

Describe how each of the DNA nitrogen bases pair together
Describe the components of the earth?
the components of the earth are actually the pacific ocean atlatic ocean and others. the components are describe by they are like a wave.
What enables cellular components to copy themselves independent of DNA?
Replication enables cellular components to copy themselves independent of DNA.
What are the three components of DNA polymer?
The three components of DNA polymerase are a polymerase domain responsible for synthesizing new DNA strands, a proofreading domain for error correction, and a domain that binds to the DNA template strand.
Which components of DNA make up the outsides of the DNA ladder?
sugar and phosphate.
