Question

What is the backbone of the DNA Chain composed of

Answer 1

sugar-phosphate backbone

Step-by-step explanation:

A sugar-phosphate backbone (alternating grey-dark grey) joins together nucleotides in a DNA sequence. The sugar-phosphate backbone forms the structural framework of nucleic acids, including DNA and RNA. This backbone is composed of alternating sugar and phosphate groups, and defines directionality of the molecule.

Answer 2

A sugar-phosphate-sugar chain.

Step-by-step explanation:

A sugar-phosphate-sugar chain forms the "backbone" of DNA. Nitrogenous bases are faced inside. Within a polynucleotide chain, the two nucleotides linked together by a bond, which is called a phosphodiester bond. In nucleotide, phosphoric acid and pentose sugar( deoxyribose) are bonded with phosphoester bond. And pentose sugar and nitrogenous bases are bonded with the N-Glycosidic bond. The two strands of DNA are held together by Hydrogen bonds, which present between nitrogenous bases of the opposing strand.
