Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
RNA nucleotides contain which components?
A
a phosphate group, a nitrogenous base, and deoxyribose
B
a nitrogenous base, ribose, and DNA polymerase
C
a phosphate group, deoxyribose, and ribose
D
a phosphate group, a nitrogenous base, and ribose
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a molecule that is present in the majority of living organisms and viruses. It is made up of nucleotides, which are ribose sugars attached to nitrogenous bases and phosphate groups. The nitrogenous bases include adenine, guanine, uracil, and cytosine.

Detailed explanation-3: -Explanation: RNA’s nucleotide components consist of a phosphate group, ribose, and nitrogenous bases.

Detailed explanation-4: -An RNA molecule has a backbone made of alternating phosphate groups and the sugar ribose, rather than the deoxyribose found in DNA. Attached to each sugar is one of four bases: adenine (A), uracil (U), cytosine (C) or guanine (G).
