Question

Dna nucleotide is composed of a __________. a dna nucleotide is composed of a __________. deoxyribose sugar, which is attached to a phosphate group, which is bonded to a nitrogenous base ribose sugar, which is bonded to both a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base ribose sugar, which is attached to a phosphate group, which is bonded to a nitrogenous base deoxyribose sugar, which is bonded to a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base

Answer 1

A DNA nucleotide is composed of deoxyribose sugar, which is bonded to both a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base. They have the nitrogenous base bonded to their 1' carbon and a phosphate group to their 5' carbon. DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid, and you can see that it has deoxyribose, instead of ribose, in it from the name.

Answer 2

DNA nucleotide is composed of a deoxyribose sugar, which is attached to a phosphate group, which is bonded to a nitrogenous base.

Further Explanation

Nucleic Acids

• Nucleic acids are one of the four major bio-molecules in nature. Nuclei acids is divided into two; RNA and DNA.
• The building blocks of nucleic acids are Nucleotides which are made by a nitrogenous base, a sugar and a phosphate group.

DNA

• DNA is a nuclei acid that is responsible for carrying genetic information in living organisms.
• It is through DNA that genetic information is passed from one organism to another through the process of DNA replication.
• Additionally, it carries the information that is used to make proteins which performs various functions in living cells.
• Each Nucleotide in DNA contains a nitrogenous base, a deoxyribose sugar, and a phosphate group.
• DNA molecules are made up of nitrogenous bases; Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and Thymine.

RNA

• Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a type of nucleic acid, a molecule that plays a major role in the flow of information from the DNA to the proteins. For a gene to be expressed information has to be passed through the RNA.
• Each nucleotide in RNA contains a nitrogenous base, a ribose sugar, and a phosphate group.
• Nitrogenous bases in RNA includes; Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and uracil. Thymine in DNA is replaced with Uracil.
