DNA has a framework that is made up of pentose sugar-phosphate.
Explanation:
DNA is the molecule that carries the hereditary information from one generation to another generation. DNA structure is composed of:
1. Sugar: De-oxyribose
2. Phosphate
3. Nitrogenous base - Adenosine, guanine, thymine and cytosine.
The phosphate present acts as a linking unit between two sugars and form a phospho-diester molecule. The nitrogen bases protrude at 90° from the DNA backbone.
