Which of the following could be a nucleotide of DNA? deoxyribose + phosphate group + thymine deoxyribose + phosphate group + uracil ribose + phosphate group + thymine ribose + phosphate group + uracil



Answer :

Deoxyribose + phosphate group + thymine.

This is because anything with ribose is RNA and uracil is in RNA not DNA, all 3 other options have at least 1 of these in.

Deoxyribose + phosphate group + thymine could be a nucleotide of DNA. Thus option A, is correct.

What is DNA?

DNA is defined as deoxyribonuclic acid and it is a polymer made up of two polynucleotide chains that arranged in foiled structure to form a double helix carrying genetic information for the various processes such as growth development  functioning and reproduction.

There are four nitrogen bases of DNA nucleotides are such as adinine, thymine, guanine and cytosine.

Friedrich miescher discovered DNA in the year of 1860.

The main function of DNA is to carry information from one generation to another generation this is the reason due to which DNA is also known information molecule.

In our body DNA is found in the nucleus of the cell and it is known as nuclear DNA. There are four nitrogen bases of DNA nucleotides are such as adinine, thymine, guanine and cytosine.

The shape of DNA is double helical structure.The life span of DNA is 521 years. Friedrich miescher discovered DNA in the year of 1860.

Siblings share only about 50% of same DNA due to the reason of recombination. In our body DNA is found in the nucleus of the cell and it is known as nuclear DNA.

The life span of DNA is 521 years.The main function of DNA is to carry information from one generation to another generation this is the reason due to which DNA is also known information molecule.

Therefore deoxyribose + phosphate group + thymine could be a nucleotide of DNA. Thus option A is correct.
