Part C - Identifying a DNA nucleotide

Identify three possible components of a DNA nucleotide.
View Available Hint(s)for Part C

cytosine, phosphate group, ribose
deoxyribose, phosphate group, thymine
guanine, phosphate group, ribose
deoxyribose, phosphate group, uracil
adenine, phosphate group, ribose
cytidine, phosphate group, ribose

1 answer

The components of a DNA nucleotide include:

  1. Deoxyribose (the sugar)
  2. A phosphate group
  3. One of the nitrogenous bases: adenine, thymine, cytosine, or guanine

From your options, the correct combination that represents a DNA nucleotide is:

deoxyribose, phosphate group, thymine

This includes deoxyribose as the sugar, a phosphate group, and thymine as the nitrogenous base, which are all crucial components of a DNA nucleotide.
