검증된 단계별 안내1
Recall that DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic Acid, which hints at the type of sugar present in its structure.
Understand that the backbone of each nucleotide in DNA is composed of alternating sugar and phosphate groups.
Identify that the sugar in DNA nucleotides is a five-carbon sugar, which can be either ribose or deoxyribose.
Recognize that in DNA, the sugar lacks one oxygen atom compared to ribose, hence the name 'deoxy' ribose.
Conclude that the sugar present in the backbone of each DNA nucleotide is deoxyribose.
