what are the three characteristics of dna?
125655
DNA has three types of chemical component: phosphate, a sugar called deoxyribose, and four nitrogenous bases—adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine. Two of the bases, adenine and guanine, have a double-ring structure characteristic of a type of chemical called a purine.

DNA is composed of four amino acids: adenine, guanine, thymine and cytosine. Each nucleotide, or monomer, has different attributes that allow it to link with the corresponding nucleotide and form a long chain, or sequence.

Describe the types of chemical bonds and forces of the DNA double helix. The DNA double helix has two types of bonds, covalent and hydrogen. Covalent bonds exist within each linear strand and strongly bond bases, sugars, and phosphate groups (both within each component and between components).

The common structural characteristic of ATP and DNA molecules is that both have a sugar, a phosphate and a base. ATP contains ribose sugar and adenine base while DNA contains deoxyribose sugar and all the four different bases of adenine, thymine, guanine and cytosine.

A nucleotide is made up of three parts: a phosphate group, a 5-carbon sugar, and a nitrogenous base. The four nitrogenous bases in DNA are adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine.

The arrangement of nitrogenous bases in DNA determines an organism's traits. Every three bases is a triplet and codes for a particular amino acid. Amino acids joined together form a polypeptide and polypeptides make up proteins. Each gene, a distinct segment of DNA codes for a different protein.

DNA consists of two strands that wind around each other like a twisted ladder. Each strand has a backbone made of alternating sugar (deoxyribose) and phosphate groups. Attached to each sugar is one of four bases--adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), or thymine (T).

DNA is made up of six smaller molecules -- a five carbon sugar called deoxyribose, a phosphate molecule and four different nitrogenous bases (adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine).
