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.

How does blood defend against pathogens and toxins
Darina [25.2K]

Blood carries immune system cells, known as white cells or leukocytes. Some examples of white cells are phagocytes and lymphocytes.

Phagocytes ingest and dissolve pathogens, as well as strange particles or dying cells.

Lymphocytes are divided into T cells, B cells, and natural killer cells (NK). B cells produce antibodies to respond to foreign cells, T cells attack pathogens using enzymes and other non-antibodies responses, while NK cells combat tumors and cells infected by viruses.
