Which of the following is a nucleotide found in DNA?

a
deoxyribose + phosphate group + cytosine
b
ribose + phosphate group + thymine
c
deoxyribose + phosphate group + uracil
d
ribose + phosphate group + uracil

1 answer

The correct answer is:

a. deoxyribose + phosphate group + cytosine

In DNA, the nucleotides consist of a deoxyribose sugar, a phosphate group, and one of the nitrogenous bases (adenine, thymine, cytosine, or guanine).
