Answer:

C. Nucleotides

Explanation:

Nucleic acids are macromolecules which are polymers of nucleotides. There are two types of nucleic acids namely: deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). Nucleotides are the building blocks of nucleic acids.

A nucleotide is made up of three components:

- A phosphate group

- A five carbon sugar called pentose sugar. In RNA the sugar is ribose sugar and in DNA the sugar is deoxyribose sugar.

- Nitrogenous bases: There are four different types of bases in DNA: adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine. In RNA thymine is replaced by uracil. Adenine and guanine are purines whereas cytosine, thymine and uracil are pyrimidines.

Nitrogenous base and sugar together are called nucleoside and when phosphate is also attached then it is called nucleotide.

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

The right option is; A)

Explanation:  

The limb bones are similar across these species because they share a common ancestor BEST explains this common skeletal structure.  

The three similar bone structures; humerus, ulna and radius that is found in the arm or forelimb of humans, horses, goats, and mice are known as homologous structures. These structures are found in different organisms and because of their similarity suggest that the organisms have evolved from a common ancestor. The structures are usually similar in form but they may not necessarily have the same function in the organisms.
