I guess you forgot to include the options in the question. The complete question goes thus:

Which of the following is NOT part of a nucleotide?

base

sugar

lipid

phosphate

In this case, the correct answer as to which is not part of a DNA nucleotide would be lipid.

Nucleotides are the building blocks of nucleic acids and consist of 3 major components:

  • a ribose sugar as in RNA, or a deoxyribose sugar as in DNA
  • nitrogenous bases in the form of purine (adenine and guanine) or pyrimidine (thymine/uracil and cytosine)
  • a phosphate group

The only one among the options that is not included in the component of nucleotides is lipid. A DNA nucleotide would have a deoxyribose sugar, a phosphate group, and purine/pyrimidine bases in complementary form.
