The sides of the DNA ladder molecule are made up of alternating sugar and phosphate groups. Specifically, the sugar is deoxyribose, and the phosphate groups connect the sugars, forming the backbone of the DNA structure. This backbone supports the rungs of the ladder, which are composed of paired nitrogenous bases.

What makes up the side of the ''ladder'' of a DNA molecule?

The sides of the DNA latter consist of the sugar deoxyribose and phosphates. The bond between the latter and the nitrogen bases together is known a a nucleotide. Nucleotides are molecules that make up the structure of DNA and RNA.


What is the DNA latter made of?

One part of the DNA latter is made out of chromosomes and genes.


What is a single, long molecule of DNA made of?

A single, long molecule of DNA is made up of a sequence of nucleotides, which are the building blocks of DNA.

Is the sides of the DNA molecule are made up of repeating nitrogen bases and sugars?

The sides of the DNA molecule are made up of repeating sugar-phosphate groups, not nitrogen bases. The nitrogen bases are arranged in the middle of the DNA molecule and form the rungs of the double helix structure.


What is the difference between DNA Molecule and RNA molecule?

A DNA molecule is made up of deoxyribose sugar while RNA is made up of ribose sugar. A DNA molecule is double stranded whilst a RNA molecule is single stranded. A DNA molecule only contains the bases; Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine and Guanine. However a RNA molecule contains the bases; Uracil, Thymine, Cytosine and Guanine. DNA is only found in the nucleus of a cell, while RNA is found in the cytoplasm.


What side of the DNA molecule contains all of the information needed to reconstruct the other side?

template strand


What is added to each side of the DNA ladder After the molecule splits?
