Question

In double-stranded dna, the phosphate groups are found on the _______ of the helix and the bases are found on the _________.

Answer 1

The backbone of the helix attached to the sugar, in between the Deoxyribose sugar

Step-by-step explanation:

Two strands of DNA form a twisted ladder-like structure by wrapping around one another. The deoxyribose and phosphate units that make up the backbone of each strand alternate in direction. Adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (G) are the four bases that are joined to each sugar (T).
