Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following are parts of a nucleotide?
A
Sugar molecule
B
Phosphate group
C
Nitrogenous base
D
Amino group
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -These nitrogenous bases are Adenine (A), Cytosine (C) and Guanine (G) which are found in both RNA and DNA and then Thymine (T) which is only found in DNA and Uracil (U), which takes the place of Thymine in RNA.

Detailed explanation-2: -A nucleotide is composed of a nitrogenous base, deoxyribose (five-carbon sugar), and at least one phosphate group. The nitrogenous bases are purines such as adenine (A) and guanine (G), or pyrimidines such as cytosine (C), thymine (T), and uracil (U).

Detailed explanation-3: -A nucleotide is made up of three parts: a phosphate group, a 5-carbon sugar, and a nitrogenous base. The four nitrogenous bases in DNA are adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine.

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.

Detailed explanation-5: -Two nitrogen-containing bases (or nucleotides) that pair together to form the structure of DNA. The four bases in DNA are adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T). These bases form specific pairs (A with T, and G with C).
