DNA MAKES RNA MAKES PROTEIN

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A nucleotide is the monomer of nucleic acids. It is made up of three parts:a phosphate, a 5-carbon sugar and a nitrogenous base. According to thebase pair rule for DNA, Adenine pairs with:
A
Thymine
B
Guanine
C
Cytosine
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In DNA, each nucleotide is made up of three parts: a 5-carbon sugar called deoxyribose, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. DNA uses four kinds of nitrogenous bases: adenine (A), guanine (G) cytosine (C), and thymine (T).

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: The monomer of nucleic acids that is made up of a 5-carbon sugar (a pentose, which is either ribose, or deoxyribose), a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base (which may be adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine, or uracil) is called a nucleotide.

Detailed explanation-3: -The monomers of DNA are called nucleotides. Nucleotides have three components: a base, a sugar (deoxyribose) and a phosphate residue. The four bases are adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and thymine (T). The sugar and phosphate create a backbone down either side of the double helix.

Detailed explanation-4: -The building blocks of DNA are nucleotides, which are made up of three parts: a deoxyribose (5-carbon sugar), a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base (Figure 9.3).

Detailed explanation-5: -The nucleotides are linked together by phosphodiester bonds. Many nucleotides attached together are known as polynucleotides. Figure 1.2. DNA is made up of five carbon sugar (deoxyribose), one phosphate group and four bases.
