What Does Dna Contain?

Answer Question

3 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    DNA contains the following:

    • Ribose, a sugar

    • A phosphate group (a phosphorous atom surrounded by oxygen atoms)

    • Nitrogenous bases: Adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine (often abbreviated as A, G, T, C)

    Ribose molecules and phosphate groups combine to form the sugar-phosphate backbone, which are the two long "strands" of DNA that hold the nitrogenous bases.

      DNA contains about two genes which coil round each other.
