- The phosphate group is the circular structure attached to the deoxyribose sugar, labeled with the letter P.
- The deoxyribose sugar is the five-sided ring structure connected to both the phosphate group and the nitrogenous base, labeled with the letter S.
- The nitrogenous base is the structure attached to the deoxyribose sugar that pairs with another base via hydrogen bonds; it is labeled with the letter N.
- The hydrogen bond is the dashed line connecting two nitrogenous bases in a base pair, labeled with the letter H.
- The base pair is the set of two complementary nitrogenous bases (A-T or G-C) held together by hydrogen bonds, labeled with the letter B.
- The nucleotide is the complete unit consisting of one phosphate group, one deoxyribose sugar, and one nitrogenous base, labeled with the letter U.
