The structure of DNA can be compared to that of a twisted ladder. Which of the following statements most accurately describes DNA? A double helix with nucleotide bases on the inside (forming the rungs) and a sugar-phosphate backbone (uprights of the ladder). A double helix with sugar-phosphate on the inside (forming the rungs) and nucleotide bases as the backbone (uprights of the ladder). Question 4 Which of the following is true? DNA is transcribed into mRNA in the cytoplasm.
