A nucleotide of DNA may contain ________.

ribose, uracil, and a phosphate group
deoxyribose, uracil, and a phosphate group
deoxyribose, thymine, and a phosphate group
ribose, thymine, and a phosphate group

Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer will be option- deoxyribose, thymine, and a phosphate group.

Explanation:

Deoxyribose nucleic acid or DNA is a type of nucleic acid which acts as genetic material in the organisms.

Each strand of DNA is made up of nucleotide which is made up of a 5 carbon sugar called deoxyribose, a phosphate group and 4 types of nitrogenous bases mainly adenine, thymine, guanine and cytosine.   The sugar and phosphate form the backbone of the DNA molecule while the nitrogenous bases are stacked perpendicular to the backbone.

Thus, option- deoxyribose, thymine, and a phosphate group.

The components that can be attributed to nucleotide of DNA are C:

deoxyribose, thymine, and a phosphate group

  • A nucleotide can be regarded as the  basic building block of nucleic acids

  • A nucleotide is composed of sugar molecule , this molecule could be  ribose in RNA and it could be deoxyribose in DNA and this is been attached to a phosphate group as well as a nitrogen-containing base.

The bases that can be found in DNA are;

  1. guanine (G)
  2. adenine (A)
  3. cytosine (C)
  4. thymine (T)

Therefore, option C is correct
