(Definition of âcentralâ from the Cambridge Business English Dictionary Â© Cambridge University Press)
Other combinations of the atoms form the four bases: thymine (T), adenine (A), cytosine (C), and guanine (G). These bases are the rungs of the DNA ladder. (It takes two bases to form a rung -- one for each side of the ladder.). A sugar molecule, a base, and a phosphate molecule group together to make up a nucleotide.Nucleotides are abundant in the cell's nucleus. Nucleotides are the units which, when linked sugar to phosphate, make up one side of a DNA ladder.ther combinations of the atoms form the four bases: thymine (T), adenine (A), cytosine (C), and guanine (G). These bases are the rungs of the DNA ladder. (It takes two bases to form a rung -- one for each side of the ladder.). A sugar molecule, a base, and a phosphate molecule group together to make up a nucleotide.
DNA is made of repeating units called nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of 3 parts: phosphate, sugar (deoxyribose) and nitrogen bases. The sugar in DNA is deoxyribose, and DNA's full name is Deoxyribonucleic Acid. There are 4 different types of nitrogen bases: adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine.
