    • where is DNA llocated for humans?
      Nucleus
    • a nucleotide includes a phosphate group, sugar called deoxyribose and nitrogenous base
    • the sugar is DNA is the ribose/ deoxyribose
    • A always pairs with T
    • C always pairs with G
    • A,T,G,C are all complimentary bases
    • the double helix has a sugar and phosphate pattern for the backbone
    • the complimentary bases can only be joined onto the sugar part of the double helix
