Question:

The sides of the ladder are made up of alternating ___________and_______________ molecules. The steps (or rungs) of the ladder are made up of ____________ held together by hydrogen bonds.

Answer:

The sides of the ladder are made of alternating sugar and phosphate molecules.  The rungs of the ladder are made up of nitrogen bases held together by hydrogen bonds.

Definitions:

DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms. DNA controls the production of proteins within the cell. These proteins in turn, form the structural units of cells and control all chemical processes within the cell. Think of proteins as the building blocks for an organism, proteins make up your skin, your hair, and parts of individual cells. How you look is largely determined by the proteins that are made. The proteins that are made are determined by the sequence of DNA in the nucleus. The shape of DNA is a double helix, which is like a twisted ladder. The sides of the ladder are made of alternating sugar and phosphate molecules. The sugar is deoxyribose.

Sugar is an important component of nucleotides which are found in DNA and RNA.

Phosphate is necessary for the formation of bone and teeth. Phosphate is also used as a building block for several important substances, including those used by the cell for energy, cell membranes, and DNA.

Nitrogen bases are organic molecules with a nitrogen atom that has the chemical properties of a base. The main biological function of a nitrogenous base is to bond nucleic acids together.

Code: 9.22.1.2

It is this positive relationship that brings the positive contribution as a whole and cooperation among individuals of a particular society.   In history, our societal aims and needs continues to change, evolve and develop. We have developed some unsaid rules, and values among ourselves. Though, some of the main aims of society is to continue to exist and let others live, grow up each day. In this way, our society enables us to be more cooperative i
