Question

While looking at a cell under a microscope, a scientist is able to see a biological molecule. This molecule is a nucleic acid with double strands and contains the nitrogenous bases adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine. Based on this information, what conclusion can the scientist draw regarding this nucleic acid?

Answer 1

The nucleic acid is DNA 

Answer 2

The correct answer is - it is a DNA molecule.

Step-by-step explanation:

A DNA molecule is a deoxyribose nucleic acid that is a double-stranded molecule joined together nitrogenous base pairs adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thiamine. Adenine pairs with guanine and thiamine pair with cytosine.

This nucleic acid present in the cell and can be studied under the microscope.

Thus, the correct answer is - the studied nucleic acid is a DNA molecule.
