Question

What is the backbone of sugar molecules

Answer 1

This backbone is composed of alternatingsugar and phosphate groups, and defines directionality of the molecules

Answer 2

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