Detailed explanation-1: -DNA is made of two linked strands that wind around each other to resemble a twisted ladder-a shape known as a double helix. Each strand has a backbone made of alternating sugar (deoxyribose) and phosphate groups.
Detailed explanation-2: -The sides of DNA are made up of deoxyribose sugar molecules and phosphate molecules.
Detailed explanation-3: -DNA is a double helix formed by base pairs attached to a sugar-phosphate backbone.
Detailed explanation-4: -Phosphate Backbone A phosphate backbone is the portion of the DNA double helix that provides structural support to the molecule. DNA consists of two strands that wind around each other like a twisted ladder. Each strand has a backbone made of alternating sugar (deoxyribose) and phosphate groups.
Detailed explanation-5: -The two strands are held together by hydrogen bonds between pairs of bases: adenine pairs with thymine, and cytosine pairs with guanine.
