B: deoxyribose
C: nitrogenous base
B)
A: phosphate group
B. ribose sugar
C: nitrogenous base
c)
A: phosphate group
B: nitrogenous base
C: deoxyribose
D)
A: phosphate group
Why? - A nucleotide consists of a sugar molecule (deoxyribose in DNA) attached to a phosphate group and a nitrogen-containing base. The bases used in DNA are adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T).
