Question
explain: describe the structure of the dna molecule you made. a. what makes up the sides of the dna molecule? answer b. what makes up the rungs of the dna molecule? answer lipids phosphates and deoxyribose sugar pairs of nitrogenous bases proteins
The sides of the DNA molecule are composed of a sugar - phosphate backbone. The sugar is deoxyribose and it is linked to phosphate groups. The "rungs" of the DNA molecule are made up of pairs of nitrogenous bases that form hydrogen - bonded base pairs. Lipids and proteins are not components of the basic structure of the DNA molecule in terms of its sides and rungs.
