Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which compound is not part of the DNA nucleotide?
A
adenine
B
ribose
C
thymine
D
deoxyribose
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Uracil is never a part of nucleotide of DNA. It is present in RNA.

Detailed explanation-2: -A nucleotide is the basic building block of nucleic acids (RNA and DNA). 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-3: -Adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine are bases present in DNA. Quinoline, an aromatic compound is not a component of DNA.

Detailed explanation-4: -Tyroxine is not present in nucleotide. Nucleotide consists of adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine, uracil, molecule of sugar and one of phosphoric acid.

Detailed explanation-5: -D) This is the correct answer. Ribose is found in RNA, and is not found in DNA.
