Question 23 • Biology

Which of these could be a nucleotide of DNA?

Answer
A
ribose plus phosphate group plus uracil
B
ribose plus phosphate group plus thymine
C
deoxyribose plus phosphate group plus thymine
D
deoxyribose plus phosphate group plus uracil

Explanation

A DNA nucleotide contains deoxyribose sugar, a phosphate group, and one nitrogenous base. Thymine is a base found in DNA, so deoxyribose plus phosphate plus thymine could form a DNA nucleotide. Ribose is found in RNA, and uracil is generally found in RNA rather than DNA.
