Detailed explanation-1: -Polymerase is not a part of the structure of nucleotides. It is an enzyme that is used to incorporate nucleotides into a nucleic acid strand such as DNA or RNA during its synthesis.
Detailed explanation-2: -The three components of a nucleotide are a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. A nucleotide does not contain phospholipids; those are molecules that make up the cell membrane and nuclear envelope.
Detailed explanation-3: -A molecule consisting of a nitrogen-containing base (adenine, guanine, thymine, or cytosine in DNA; adenine, guanine, uracil, or cytosine in RNA), a phosphate group, and a sugar (deoxyribose in DNA; ribose in RNA).
Detailed explanation-4: -A nucleotide consists of a sugar molecule (either ribose in RNA or deoxyribose in DNA) attached to a phosphate group and a nitrogen-containing base. The bases used in DNA are adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and thymine (T).
Detailed explanation-5: -Each nucleotide, in turn, is made up of a nitrogenous base, a pentose sugar, and a phosphate.
