Question

Where is nucleotide located on dna strand

Answer 1

Nucleotides are the building blocks of DNA and they are located on the DNA strand. They make up the DNA molecule by forming a ladder-like structure with a double helix shape. Each nucleotide consists of a sugar molecule (deoxyribose), a phosphate group, and one of four nitrogenous bases (adenine, thymine, cytosine, or guanine). The nucleotides are connected together through covalent bonds between the sugar of one nucleotide and the phosphate group of the next nucleotide, forming a sugar-phosphate backbone. The nitrogenous bases then pair up and connect the two DNA strands through hydrogen bonds: adenine pairs with thymine, and cytosine pairs with guanine.
