Answer 1

A nucleotide contains ________.

a) sugar + phosphate

b) N-base+phosphate

c) sugar + nitrogenous base

d) sugar +N-base + phosphate.

Answer=> option (D) sugar + N-base +phosphate

Answer 2

The correct option is option (d).

A nucletoide consists of three main components which include a phosphate group, a nitrogen containing base, and of course a five carbon sugar.

The nitrogenous base consists of either a pyrimidine or a purine element.

The five carbon sugar however might either be a deoxyribose in the DNA molecules or simply ribose in the RNA molecules.
