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!

What are some differences in chromosomal structures between prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

In prokaryotes, the circular chromosome is contained in the cytoplasm in an area called the nucleoid. In contrast, in eukaryotes, all of the cell's chromosomes are stored inside a structure called the nucleus. Each eukaryotic chromosome is composed of DNA coiled and condensed around nuclear proteins called histones.
