You must be aware that there are four nitrogen bases - adenine (A), thyamine (T), guanine (G) and cytosine (C) [unlike DNA in an RNA molecule uracil (U) is present instead of cytosine (C)]. Each nitrogen base together with a five carbon sugar molecule (ribose in case of RNA and deoxyribose in case of DNA) and a phosphate group forms a nucleotide [not to be confused with nucleoside - just sugar and base, no phosphate group]. Adenine base pairs with thymine with the formation of two hydrogen bonds and guanine with cytosine using three hydrogen bonds. A base pair consists of two nucleotides paired using the above mentioned hydrogen bonds.

What do the two sides of the DNA molecule do in DNA Replication?

There are four bases in a DNA "ladder"... It is called a ladder because of the "two sides" and the bases... In DNA replication, they obviously replicate and the two sides are replicated as are the bases. (A,T,C,G)


What molecule break the rungs bases apart?

The DNA molecule is known to break the rungs apart. In order for this to be accomplished, the bases must synthesize with the DNA.


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.

No. Mutation changes the sequence of nitrogen bases in a DNA molecule.


What make up the rugs of the DNA molecule?

The DNA molecule is composed of nucleotides, which consist of a sugar molecule (deoxyribose), a phosphate group, and one of four nitrogenous bases (adenine, thymine, cytosine, or guanine). These nucleotides join together in a specific sequence to form the double helix structure of the DNA molecule.
