Detailed explanation-1: -An amino acid is not a component of nucleotide. Nucleotides are the structural units of nucleic acids and are composed of three major components: a nitrogenous base (adenine, guanine.
Detailed explanation-2: -Nucleotides that make the DNA strands contain deoxyribose sugar, phospate molecule and one nitrogenous base out of adenine, guanine, thymine and cytosine. Uracil is never a part of nucleotide of DNA.
Detailed explanation-3: -The correct answer is c. The fatty acid group is not a part of a nucleic acid.
Detailed explanation-4: -(a)Glycerols, fatty acids, and phosphates.
Detailed explanation-5: -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.
