Nucleotides are the monomers of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) Which of the following is true?

A. DNA is a small molecule that makes up larger molecules of nucleotides
B. Nucleotides have nothing to do with DNA
C. Nucleotides are small molecules that make up for larger molecules of DNA
D. All of the above

1 answer

The correct answer is:

C. Nucleotides are small molecules that make up for larger molecules of DNA.

To clarify:

  • A is incorrect because DNA is a larger molecule made up of nucleotides, not the other way around.
  • B is incorrect because nucleotides are the building blocks of DNA.
  • D is incorrect because not all statements are true; specifically, A and B are false.

So, C is the only true statement.
