MCQ
In nucleic acids, the sequence is
- ABase-phosphate-sugar
- BPhosphate-base-sugar
- CSugar-base-phosphate
- ✓Base-sugar-phosphate
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
Base-sugar-phosphate
d
In nucleic acids, the sequence is phosphate-sugar base. Nucleic acids are polymeric macromolecules, or large biological molecules, essential for all known forms of life. Nucleic acids, which include $DNA$ (deoxyribonucleic acid) and $RNA$ (ribonucleic acid), are made from monomers known as nucleotides. Each nucleotide has three components: a $5-$carbon sugar, a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base. If the sugar is deoxyribose, the polymer is $DNA$. If the sugar is ribose, the polymer is $RNA$.
