Answer:
Base + sugar gives Nucleoside in context of genetic material.
Explanation:
- DNA (genetic material) is composed of Nucleotide chains.
- Nucleotide comprises of sugar + nucleic acid (base) + phosphate.
- When only sugar & nucleic acid (base) are present, it is called Nucleoside.
- DNA molecule comprises of two nucleotide long chain arranged in a helical manner and antiparallel fashion.
- Nitrogenous base is basically nitrogen containing compounds and are of two types – Purines and Pyrimidines.
- Purines comprises of – Adenine (A) and Guanine (G) whereas pyrimidines comprise of Cytosine (C) and Thymine (T).
Hence, base and sugar together form a nucleoside in context of genetic material.
