Deoxyribose and phosphate.
The Sides of this ladder equate to the Dna's Sugar-Phosphate Backbone; the Rungs of this ladder equate to the Hydrogen-bonding that takes place between base pairs.
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)

DNA (standing for DeoxyriboNucleic Acid)
The sections of DNA that resemble rungs on a ladder are called base pairs. These pairs consist of nitrogenous bases—adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T), and cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G). The sequence of these base pairs encodes genetic information, while the sugar-phosphate backbone forms the sides of the ladder.
The sides of the DNA ladder is composed of sugar and phosphate. 4 bases that make up the rungs of the DNA ladder are A, T, G, and C. The shape of the DNA is a double helix or twisted ladder.
The sides of the DNA ladder are made up of sugar-phosphate backbones. The sugar in DNA is deoxyribose, linked together by phosphate groups forming the backbone of the DNA strand.
The shape of a DNA molecule is called a Double Helix or a "Twisted Ladder"
Each rung of the DNA double helix is made up of a pair of nitrogenous bases (adenine-thymine or guanine-cytosine). The sides of the ladder are made up of alternating sugar (deoxyribose) and phosphate molecules. Hydrogen bonds hold the nitrogenous bases of the rungs together, creating the structure of the DNA double helix.
The sides of a DNA molecule are made up of alternating sugar molecules (deoxyribose) and phosphate groups that form the sugar-phosphate backbone. Each sugar molecule is connected to one of four nitrogenous bases (adenine, thymine, cytosine, or guanine) that extend inward from the backbone and pair with a complementary base on the opposite strand.
DNA is a polymer, which means that is it composed of a series of similar units. In DNA, these units are called nucleotides, and are each made of a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate group (including 4 oxygens), and a nitrogenous base. each nucleotide has one of the following bases: adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine. Being that DNA is in the form of a double-helix, the nucleotides on one strand need to attach to those on the other. They attach with hydrogen, but the bases tend to pair up as the following: adenine - thymine, cytosine - guanine
A curving ladder shape
The DNA double helix is a twisted ladder-like structure made up of two strands of nucleotides that are paired together. The sides of the ladder are formed by alternating sugar and phosphate molecules, while the rungs are made up of pairs of nitrogenous bases (adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine) connected by hydrogen bonds. This helical structure allows DNA to store genetic information and replicate itself accurately.
The monomers of nucleic acids are called nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of three components: a sugar molecule (deoxyribose in DNA and ribose in RNA), a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base (adenine, thymine, guanine, cytosine in DNA, and uracil replaces thymine in RNA).
twisted rope ladder
A molecule of DNA consists of two strands of various chemical compounds that other chemicals carrying genetic information join together, much like ladder rungs hold ladder rails apart. The two strands joined with thousands of rungs look like a long rope ladder that has been twisted into the shape of a spiral, called a double helix.
Nucleotides are arranged in a specific sequence along a DNA or RNA molecule. The sequence of nucleotides determines the genetic information encoded in the molecule. Each nucleotide consists of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base (adenine, thymine, cytosine, or guanine for DNA; adenine, uracil, cytosine, or guanine for RNA).
