I like to think of the DNA molecule strand as a ladder, rather than a spiral staircase. The siderail of the DNA ladder (The DNA "Backbone") consists of the Sugar and Phosphate molecules. The rungs of the ladder (the inner bases) consist of the pairs of Nitrogen Bases - Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and Thymine. 

hope this helped :)

Which hormone regulates the growth of bone muscle and other body tissues?
snow_lady [41]

Somatotropin

Somatotropin is a polypeptide growth hormone that regulates the growth of bone, muscle, and other body tissues. Somatotropin is secreted by somatotropic cells within the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland. Somatotropin is important in human development as it stimulates growth, cell regenerations and reproduction in humans and other animals. The levels of somatotrophin rise increasingly during childhood and also occur at its peak in puberty.
