Final answer:

The diagram can be labeled with nucleotide, deoxyribose, phosphate group, nitrogen base, hydrogen bonds, and base pair.

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram can be labeled as follows:

  • Nucleotide: The building blocks of DNA that consist of a nitrogenous base, deoxyribose sugar, and a phosphate group.
  • Deoxyribose: The 5-carbon sugar molecule that is a component of a nucleotide.
  • Phosphate group: A molecule made up of phosphorus and oxygen atoms that is a component of a nucleotide.
  • Nitrogen base: The part of a nucleotide that contains nitrogen and can be either a purine (adenine and guanine) or a pyrimidine (cytosine and thymine).
  • Hydrogen bonds: Weak bonds that form between the nitrogen bases of two nucleotide chains and hold the DNA strands together.
  • Base pair: The pair of nitrogen bases that form complementary base pairs in DNA. Adenine always pairs with thymine, and cytosine always pairs with guanine.
