- - - - linkage involves a dehydration or condensation reaction
        
        1 molecule of water is eventually released
      - adjacent nucleotides are joined by a phosphodiester linkage which consists of a phosphate group that links the sugar of two nucleotides
        
        results in repeating patterns of sugar-phosphate units called the sugar-phosphate backbone
  - - - nitrogenous bases
        
        purine - double ring structure
        
        adenine ad guanine
        
        pyrimidine - single ring structure
        
        thymine, cytosine and uracil
      - phosphate group
        
        phosphate and 4 oxygen atoms bonded (1 double bond)
- - - - all instructions come from here
  - - - adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine
- - - - adenine, guanine, cytosine and uracil
