The double-stranded DNA that results from this pattern of bonding looks much like a ladder with sugar-phosphate side supports and base-pair rungs. Note that because the two polynucleotides that ...

The structure of DNA can also be described as a ladder. The chemical backbones of the ladder are made up of sugar and phosphate molecules that are connected by chemical bonds. The rungs of the ...

These bases are the individual letters that make up DNA's code. DNA has a ladder-like structure, and normally, bases on one side of the ladder pair with a partner on the other side, linking up in ...
