How many different chemical units make up a nucleotide?
A
1
B
2
C
3
D
4
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A nucleotide is composed of three distinctive chemical sub-units: a five-carbon sugar molecule, a nucleobase (the two of which together are called a nucleoside), and one phosphate group.

Detailed explanation-2: -Each nucleotide, in turn, is made up of a nitrogenous base, a pentose sugar, and a phosphate.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are four nucleotides, or bases, in DNA: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T). These bases form specific pairs (A with T, and G with C).

Detailed explanation-4: -DNA is made of chemical building blocks called nucleotides. These building blocks are made of three parts: a phosphate group, a sugar group and one of four types of nitrogen bases.

Detailed explanation-5: -The monomers of DNA are called nucleotides. Nucleotides have three components: a base, a sugar (deoxyribose) and a phosphate residue.
