the dna structure resembles a twisted ladder. what molecules make up the uprights of the ladder
In this way a DNA molecule is similar in structure to a ladder in which the sugar and phosphate groups make the uprights and the nitrogen base groups the rungs. There are four types of nitrogen bases or base groups. 1  Adenine (A). 2  Thyamine (T).3  Cytosine (C). 4  Guanine (G).he nucleotides in the DNA molecule are linked in series from one phosphate, to the next sugar, to the next phosphate and so on. The DNA molecule can be considered as a ladder with the phosphate and the sugar molecules making up the uprights and the bases making up the rungs.
