Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The building blocks for a new DNA molecule are
A
deoxyribose nucleoside monophosphates
B
deoxyribose nucleoside diphosphates
C
deoxyribose nucleoside triphosphates
D
deoxyribose nucleoside tetraphosphates
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The building blocks of DNA are deoxyribose nucleosite triphosphates. These nucleotides are made up of three parts-a phosphate group, a sugar group, and one of four types of nitrogen bases.

Detailed explanation-2: -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. To form a strand of DNA, nucleotides are linked into chains, with the phosphate and sugar groups alternating.

Detailed explanation-3: -The molecules that serve as the building blocks of DNA and RNA. Nucleotides consist of one nitrogenous base – adenine, cytosine, guanine, or thymine (uracil in RNA), a sugar (deoxyribose in DNA, ribose in RNA) and a phosphate group.

Detailed explanation-4: -As shown in the animation, the bases adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T) are the four main components that make up DNA. These bases can form pairs and link together to create the double helix structure of DNA.
