Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Each nucleotide, in turn, is made up of a nitrogenous base, a pentose sugar, and a phosphate.
Detailed explanation-2: -Each nucleotide is made up of three components: a nitrogenous base, a pentose (five-carbon) sugar, and a phosphate group (Figure 5.2). Each nitrogenous base in a nucleotide is attached to a sugar molecule, which is attached to one or more phosphate groups.
Detailed explanation-3: -Phosphorus – a chemical element that, with oxygen, forms the molecule phosphate. Nucleotide – the building block of DNA and RNA; consists of a phosphate group attached to a 5-carbon sugar and nitrogenous base.
