Question
Nucleotide are building blocks of nucleic acids. Each nucleotide is a composite molecule formed by
Options
A.base-sugar-phosphate
B.base-sugar-OH
C.(base-sugar-phosphate)n
D.sugar-phosphate
Solution
Nucleotides are the building of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA). A single nucleotide is composed of a phosphate molecules, a five carbon sugar (either ribose or deoxyribose) and a purine (adenine or guanine) or a pyrimidine (thymine or cytosine or uracil) nitrogenous base.
Nucleoside = Base + Sugar
Nucleotide = Base + Sugar + Phosphate
Nucleoside = Base + Sugar
Nucleotide = Base + Sugar + Phosphate
