When DNA is fully degraded, a pentose sugar, phosphoric acid, and nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds known as bases are produced. Below is a diagram illustrating the structure of sugar and phosphoric acid.
DNA contains four bases adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C) and thymine (T). The structures of all bases are shown below.
The attachment of a base to the 1'-position of sugar produces a nucleoside. When a nucleoside attaches to phosphoric acid at the sugar moiety's 5? position, a nucleotide is formed. Nucleotides are linked through the phosphodiester linkage
