DNA Structure - Part 2
Learning Objectives Describe the basic shape of DNA Name the three parts of a nucleotide
The Shape of the DNA Molecule The basic shape is like a twisted ladder called a double helix The DNA double helix has two strands twisted together
Components of DNA The DNA backbone is made of alternating phosphates and deoxyribose sugar The rungs are nitrogenase bases P Base Sugar Sugar Base P P Sugar Base Base Sugar P P Base Base Sugar Sugar P P Sugar Sugar Base Base P
Monomer of DNA or RNA Nucleotide DNA and RNA are made of monomers called nucleotides
