In what part of DNA is the genetic code stored?

In the Nitrogen bases, or nucleotides. The are in the "middle" of the DNA, in between the sugar-phosphate backbone.


Which part of a DNA molecule carries the genetic instructions that are unique th the sugar phosphate backbone or the nitrogen containing bases?

The nitrogen-containing bases, which are adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine, carry the genetic instructions in a DNA molecule. These bases form the rungs of the DNA ladder. The sugar-phosphate backbone of the DNA molecule provides structural support.


Which nucleotide part extends from the backbone?

The nitrogenous bases. I think.


Is phosphorus part of the nitrogenous base?

No, phosphorus is not part of the nitrogenous base. The nitrogenous bases in DNA are adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine, which contain nitrogen atoms but not phosphorus. Phosphorus is primarily found in the sugar-phosphate backbone of the DNA molecule.


If DNA molecule is compared to a spiral staircase what part make up the steps?

pairs of nitrogen bases


Common element in nucleic acids and protein structure?

The common element in both nucleic acids and protein structure is nitrogen. Nitrogen is a key component of both nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) where it forms part of the nucleotide bases, and in proteins where it is found in amino acids as part of the protein backbone.


Part of the backbone in DNA that does not contain phosphorus?

The part of the DNA backbone that does not contain phosphorus is the deoxyribose sugar. It is the sugar molecule that forms the backbone of the DNA strand and is connected to the nitrogenous bases. The phosphate group is the component that connects the sugar molecules, forming the backbone of the DNA.


What biomolecules contain both nitrogen and phosphate?

Nucleic acids, specifically DNA and RNA, contain both nitrogen and phosphate. Nitrogen is present in the nucleotide bases, while phosphate groups are part of the backbone of the nucleic acid molecule.


What substance is the sugar deoxyribose found in?

In deoxyribose nucleic acid. DNA, as part of the backbone the nitrogenous bases are hung on.


What macromolecule have nitrogen?

Proteins and nucleic acids contain nitrogen.Proteins use nitrogen as part of amino group, which is NH2.Nucleic acids use nitrogen for nitrogen bases such as adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine.


Which element is not a part of a nitrogenouse base?
