The sugar-phosphate backbone has the phosphates as the backbone with the ribose sugars as the attachments (connections) to the [C or G or A or T] nucleotides.

What holds the two sides of the DNa together?

DNA is a double-stranded molecule twisted into a helix (think of a spiral staircase). Each spiraling strand, comprised of a sugar-phosphate backbone and attached bases, is connected to a complementary strand by non-covalent hydrogen bonding between paired bases. The bases are adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C) and guanine (G). A and T are connected by two hydrogen bonds. G and C are connected by three hydrogen bonds.


A-c-g-c-t-t what is the other side?

The other side is TGCGAA. This is because A always binds with T and C always binds with G since DNA strands that are connected together are always complimentary.


What are the nitrogen bases found in DNA and what are they bond to?

The four nitrogen bases found in DNA are adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G). Adenine bonds with thymine (A to T) and cytosine bonds with guanine (C to G) through hydrogen bonds to form the base pairs in the DNA double helix.


Why does the DNA backbone not line up at each end?

The structure of DNA can be compared to a ladder. It has an alternating chemical phosphate and sugar backbone, making the "sides" of the ladder. (Deoxyribose is the name of the sugar found in the backbone of DNA.) In between the two sides of this sugar-phosphate backbone are four nitrogenous bases: adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G). (A grouping like this of a phosphate, a sugar, and a base makes up a subunit of DNA called a nucleotide.) These bases make up the "rungs" of the ladder, and are attached to the backbone where the deoxyribose (sugar) molecules are located.


What is the name given to the process where the DNA is copied?

The process where DNA is copied is called DNA replication. During DNA replication, the double-stranded DNA molecule is unwound and each strand serves as a template for the synthesis of a new complementary strand. This process is essential for cell division and passing genetic information to offspring.

The backbone of DNA consists of?

The backbone of DNA consists of alternating sugar (deoxyribose) and phosphate molecules, connected by strong covalent bonds. The nitrogenous bases (adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine) are attached to the sugar molecules on the inside of the double helix structure.


What part of the DNA forms the outside ladder structures?

on the outside of the DNA strand is the phosphate and sugar, only the sugar are connected across to the other half with the A&T and C&G


What is the chemical composition of DNA?

DNA is composed of four nitrogenous bases: adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C), which make up the genetic code. These bases are connected to a sugar-phosphate backbone, forming the double helix structure of DNA.

What are the base pairings for DNA and RNA?

DNA has A-T and C-G while RNA has A-U and C-G


Is tomate DNA purley DNA?

All DNA is made of the same things. The DNA found in one species is no different to that found in another (except for the sequence of bases and length). It always has a sugar-phosphate backbone and four nitrogenous bases - A, T, G and C.
