DNA DNA is located in the nucleus in the form of chromatin. It is made of units called nucleotides.
DNA Nucleotides are composed of 3 parts: Nucleic acid A sugar A phosphate group
DNA Is in a spiral shape called a double helix. When unwound DNA is in the shape of a ladder. The side of the ladder is made of alternating sugar and phosphate
DNA Molecules. The sugar in DNA is deoxyribose. The four nitrogen bases in DNA are: Adenine and Thymine Cytosine and Guanine
DNA Adenine and thymine always pair together. Cytosine and guanine always pair together. (Andy Taylor and Cousin Goober)
