The three units that make up DNA are nucleotides, which consist of a sugar molecule (deoxyribose), a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base (adenine, thymine, cytosine, or guanine). These nucleotides combine to form the double helix structure of DNA.
The basic unit of DNA is the nucleotide which is composed of a deoxyribose sugar molecule a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base.
The monomer of DNA is called a nucleotide, and consists of a sugar (deoxyribose), a phosphate and a nitrogenous base (A, T, C or G).
A nucleotide of DNA consists of a deoxyribose sugar molecule, a phosphate group, and one of four nitrogen bases: adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine.
The rungs of the DNA ladder are composed of alternating deoxyribose sugar molecules and phosphate groups.
There are for monomers of DNA adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine each one of those is paired with a pentose sugar and a phosphate group, and the pentose sugar is deoxyribose for DNA
The groups are 1. Phosphate 2. Deoxyribose sugar 3. Nitrogen base The phosphates and deoxyribose sugars make up the sides of the helix (alternating one after the other) and nitrogen bases are the "rungs" of the helix.
A nucleotide is composed of three main components: a sugar molecule (deoxyribose in DNA or ribose in RNA), a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base (adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine in DNA or uracil instead of thymine in RNA).
The long piece of chalk might measure 8 units and 3 units if it is made up of two shorter pieces attached together. Each piece could be 4 units and 3 units long respectively.
