The structure of a nucleotide consists of a
A
A phosphate, A deoxyribose sugar, a nitrogenous base
B
A phosphate base, Ribose sugar, a nitrogen
C
DNA, RNA, Protein
D
DNA, Protein, Amino Acids
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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). In RNA, the base uracil (U) takes the place of thymine.

Detailed explanation-2: -Each nucleotide is made up of three components: a nitrogenous base, a pentose (five-carbon) sugar, and a phosphate group (Figure 5.2). Each nitrogenous base in a nucleotide is attached to a sugar molecule, which is attached to one or more phosphate groups.

Detailed explanation-3: -Each nucleotide is composed of deoxyribose sugar, phosphate group, nitrogenous base. Q. A nucleotide consists of a sugar molecule, nitrogenous base and a phosphate group.

Detailed explanation-4: -Nucleotides are composed of three subunit molecules: a nucleobase, a five-carbon sugar (ribose or deoxyribose), and a phosphate group consisting of one to three phosphates. The four nucleobases in DNA are guanine, adenine, cytosine and thymine; in RNA, uracil is used in place of thymine.

Detailed explanation-5: -Each nucleotide is composed of a nitrogenous base, a five-carbon sugar (deoxyribose), and a phosphate group. There are four nitrogenous bases in DNA, two purines (adenine and guanine) and two pyrimidines (cytosine and thymine). A DNA molecule is composed of two strands.
