The DNA backbone is also called the sugar-phosphate backbone - the deoxyribose sugars (with, among other elements, 5 carbon atoms) and phosphates (PO4--) conjoin together in a [very strong due to the electronegativity of the Oxygens] chain.
Sugars and Phosphates
A sugar (deoxyribose, a sugar with, among other elements, 5 carbon atoms) and phosphates to bond them together.

∙ 12y ago46 chromosomes in each cell contain 6 feet of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), which is located inside the nucleus of a cell. It also contains millions of nucleotides and is shaped like a twisted ribbon-like ladder made up of 4 bases. Adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine.
Sounds fancy, but actually, it is nothing but deoxyribose and phosphate.

What type of sugar makes up the backbone of the DNA molecule?
The sugar found in the backbone of DNA is the deoxyribose.
The backbone of the DNA molecule is made of what?
Deoxyribose sugar and phosphate group
Is there phosphate groups found in DNA?
The DNA backbone, are made of alternating sugars and phosphate groups.
Which enzyme is responsible for creating the covalent bonds that connect the sugar-phosphate backbone of the new DNA molecule?
DNA ligase
What is the difference between cytidine in DNA and cytidine in RNA?
Cytidine is composed of one molecule each of cytosine and ribose. The cytosine molecule is the same between DNA and RNA, the difference is in the sugar backbone. In RNA it is ribose while in DNA it is deoxyribose.
What molecules make up the backbone of a DNA molecule?
The backbone of the DNA molecule consists of a sugar, deoxyribose and a phosphate group. --(sugars and phosphates)
What forms the backbone of the DNA molecule?
nitrogeous bases
What part of the nucleotide make up the backbone of the DNA molecule?
dna strands
A DNA molecule consists of how many stands?
The DNA molecule has two strands connected by a sugar phosphate backbone.
What type of sugar makes up the backbone of the DNA molecule?
The sugar found in the backbone of DNA is the deoxyribose.
What sugar is present in the backbone of a DNA molecule?
The sugar is deoxyribose.
What make us the backbone of a DNA molecule?
sugars and phosphates
What type of DNA are holding the molecule together?
What components make up the backbone of DNA
Where are phosphate groups in a DNA molecule?
The DNA backbone, are made of alternating sugars and phosphate groups.
Is phospates in DNA?
Yes. The phosphate group links two deoxyriboses in the backbone of the DNA molecule.
The backbone of the DNA molecule is made of what?
Deoxyribose sugar and phosphate group
What connects the backbone of the DNA molecule together?
The DNA backbone is made of phosphate group and deoxyribose, and they are held together by covalent bonding.
