All of the following are true about the structure of deoxyribonucleic acid except . View Available Hint(s) All of the following are true about the structure of deoxyribonucleic acid except . deoxyribonucleotides consist of a nitrogenous base and a pentose sugar with the nitrogenous bases covalently bonded to make the primary structure complementary base pairing between the nitrogenous bases from two strands of nucleotides forms the secondary structure of DNA phosphodiester bonds connect deoxyribonucleotides in the primary structure of DNA a single nucleotide has a phosphate group, pentose sugar, and nitrogenous base. The primary structure of DNA consists of nitrogenous bases sticking out from the backbone nucleotides consist of a phosphate group, pentose sugar, and nitrogenous base. The primary structure of DNA has a sugar-phosphate backbone.
