Answer:

d) alternating sugars and phosphates.

Explanation:

DNA is a molecule which acts as the genetic material of the organisms on Earth. The DNA is made of the monomer units called nucleotides which are composed of a sugar called deoxyribose, a phosphate group and two types of nitrogenous bases (purines and pyrimidines).

The DNA structure is known as the double-helical model which gives a ladder-like appearance in a twisted manner. The backbone of the ladder or DNA is made of the deoxyribose sugar and the phosphate group whereas the nitrogenous bases are arranged inside the DNA.

Thus, option-D is the correct answer.

The light dependent process and the calvin cycle are separate in C4 plants. Also C4 plants can adapt easily to even hot sunny environment
