Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The statement that is true about the structure of nucleotides is (a.) Composed of 1 phosphate, 1 nitrogen base, and 1 sugar. Nucleotides are the primary building blocks of the nucleic acids, DNA and RNA.
Detailed explanation-2: -Meat: Animal muscles are naturally high in nucleic acids, so chicken and red meat, such as beef and pork, are great sources, per a 2016 report in the Encyclopedia of Food and Health. Seafood: Fish is also high in nucleic acids, but it isn’t only animal-based foods that provide nucleic acids.
Detailed explanation-3: -DNA and RNA are polymers comprised of many nucleotides, strung together like beads in a necklace.
Detailed explanation-4: -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). In RNA, the base uracil (U) takes the place of thymine.
