What makes up the rails or the sides of a DNA structure

Hey whats up!!

DNA is made up of six smaller molecules -- a five carbon sugar called deoxyribose, a phosphate molecule and four different nitrogenous bases (adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine). Using research from many sources, including chemically accurate models, Watson and Crick discovered how these six subunits were arranged to make the the structure of DNA. The model is called a double helix because two long strands twist around each other like a twisted ladder. The rails of the ladder are made of alternating sugar and phosphate molecules. The steps of the ladder are made of two bases joined together with either two or three weak hydrogen bonds.

I hope this information helped you

Hey there!
The sides of DNA have rails, or the sides of them that keep them together- and what's amazing is you can't even see it.
They're made of sugar (deoxyribose) and phosphate molecules. They alternate, so sugar, phosphate and so on.
Hope this helps!

You slowly develop eyelid drooping and muscle weakness. You go to the doctor and she believes you display classic symptoms of KS
Anika [276]

Answer:

The answer is D) Another biopsy from a distinct site may show a different result.

Explanation:

In molecular biology southern blot is used to detect a specific sequence of DNA. Mitochondria are energy producing organelles in the cell and they possess DNA that is inherited only from the mother. Although Southern blot is the classic method used to detect large deletions in mitochondrial DNA, it is not always sensitive enough to detect heteroplasmic deletions at low levels leading to results that are not always reliable. Heteroplasmy refers to the presence of more than one mitochondrial DNA in an individual. The presence of a mutation in the mitochondrial DNA can create an intracellular heteroplasmic mix of mutant and normal mitochondrial DNA. Cells with a higher rate of cell division like blood can yield inconclusive results in southern analysis because heteroplasmy favors wild type mitochondrial DNA. Thus, non-dividing cells such as muscle cells are preferred for the analysis.
