DNA is a long polymer of simple units called nucleotides, which are held together by a backbone made of sugars and phosphate groups. This backbone carries four types of molecules called bases, and it is the sequence of these four bases that encodes information.
Nucleobases are the parts of DNA that may be involved in pairing . These include cytosine, guanine, adenine, thymine (DNA)
C pairs with G
A pairs with T
hope this helps :)

DNA is made of up :
1. Sugar. (deoxyrobose)
2. Nitrogenous base (Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, Thymine)
3. Phosphate
nucleotide constitutes sugar, one of the nitrogenous base and phosphate..

haha i have no idea what the homey guy before me is talking about.
we already know what DNA is made of and everyone else previously got it right.
DNA = deoxyribose nucleic acid.
deoxyribose (missing 2'OH which is found in RNA) + 3 phosphates + aromatic base (ring)
the bases are A, T, C, G
nucleotides are phosphate esters of nucleosides (sugar + base + phosphate)

Funny you should ask this. if you try to research it the only thing you will find is a run around. One says the other is made of the other. In terms of atoms and the string theory it becomes a painstakingly tedious search for this answer. that is why I believe in smart design. You will not find an answer because no one really knows how it works. if they did you would know about it.

a phosphate group, deoxyribose sugar, and nitrogenous bases
