NUCLEIC ACIDS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Building blocks of nucleic acid are
A
Nitrogen bases
B
Nucleoside
C
Nucleotide
D
Amino acid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Nucleotides are the building blocks of nucleic acid. Each nucleotide consists of three parts: a sugar (ribose for RNA and deoxyribose for DNA), a phosphate, and a nitrogenous base.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nucleotides consist of one nitrogenous base – adenine, cytosine, guanine, or thymine (uracil in RNA), a sugar (deoxyribose in DNA, ribose in RNA) and a phosphate group.

Detailed explanation-3: -Nucleotides are organic molecules that serve as the monomers, or subunits, of nucleic acids like DNA and RNA. The building blocks of nucleic acids, nucleotides are composed of a nitrogenous base, a five-carbon sugar; ribose or deoxyribose, and at least one phosphate group.

Detailed explanation-4: -A nucleotide is one of the structural components, or building blocks, of DNA and RNA. A nucleotide consists of a base (one of four chemicals: adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine) plus a molecule of sugar and one of phosphoric acid.
