Detailed explanation-1: -Which organic molecule is paired with its basic building block? nucleic acid : nucleotides.
Detailed explanation-2: -Nucleotide 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: -DNA is made up of four building blocks called nucleotides: adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C).
Detailed explanation-4: -Nucleic Acids. A nucleic acid is an organic compound, such as DNA or RNA, that is built of small units called nucleotides.
Detailed explanation-5: -The organic molecules that are nucleic acids are DNA and RNA. DNA is the genetic material of the cell. It is the ultimate source of instructions for coding for proteins. RNA has several functions in the cell.
