Question

When bonded together chemically, deoxyribose, phosphate, and an adenine molecule make up

A) a DNA nucleotide
B) an RNA nucleotide
C) a DNA molecule
D) an RNA molecule
(I will report your answer if it does not include an answer WITH an explanation.)

Answer 1

Answer:A) a DNA nucleotide

Explanation: DNA and RNA are nucleic acids. Nucleic acids are made up of monomeric units called nucleotides. Nucleotides are made up of a nitrogenous base, a pentose sugar and a phosphate group. In DNA, the bases found are Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine and Guanine and the pentose sugar found in DNA is deoxyribose, but in RNA the bases found are Adenine, Uracil, Cytosine and Guanine; the pentose sugar found in RNA is ribose.
