One way in which the DNA structures of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are similar is that both have sugar-phosphate backbones.
The DNAs of all living organisms, be it prokaryotes or eukaryotes, are similar and consists of 3 major chemical groups:
- 5-carbon deoxyribose sugars
- nitrogenous purine or pyrimidine bases
- phosphate group
The pentose deoxyribose sugar and the phosphate group form the backbone of the structure of DNA. The sugars are linked together by phosphodiester bonds formed between the carbon 4 of each sugar and the methyl group attached to the phosphate.
The similarity in the structure of DNA of all living organisms is one evidence being used to support the evolution of living organisms from a common ancestor.
