Nucleotides are the monomers for nucleic acids. They consist of a phophate, a 5-carbon sugar and base. A nucleotide for DNA differs from a nucleotide for RNA because DNA has

a
Deoxyribose sugar and Adenine
b
Deoxyribose sugar and Thymine
c
Ribose sugar and Uracil
d
Deoxyribose sugar and Uracil

1 answer

The correct answer is:

b Deoxyribose sugar and Thymine

In DNA, the sugar component is deoxyribose, and one of the four nitrogenous bases is thymine. In RNA, the sugar is ribose, and instead of thymine, RNA has uracil.
