Answer:

A

Explanation:

Deoxyribosenucleic acid (DNA) is one of the two types of nucleic acids, the other being RNA. DNA is a polymer called polynucleotide made up of subunits called NUCLEOTIDE. Each nucleotide is made up of components that make up its structure. These components are:

1. A five-carbon sugar, which can be Deoxyribose or ribose depending on whether it is present in DNA or RNA respectively. The difference in the two sugars is the deficiency of one oxygen atom in deoxyribose.

2. Phosphate group with the structure PO3 (4-)

3. Nitrogenous bases, which are four in number viz: Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and Thymine/Uracil. Thymine is only present in DNA while Uracil is only present in RNA.

Hence, the answer to the question is Deoxyribose, phosphate and Thymine (nitrogenous base).

Identify the example below that is NOT considered an evidence of evolution.
iris [78.8K]

There are several evidences of evolution, some that we have greater knowledge and others we don't, but in this question all alternatives contain evidence of evolution, to understand better we need to know that.......

<h3>Fossil Evidence</h3>

Fossils are remains or traces of preserved organisms that are more than 10,000 years old and provide important information about life in past times and what the environment was like at a given time.

  • Bones
  • Teeth mark
  • Footprints
  • and petrified feces are examples of fossils.

<h3> Comparative embryology and Homologous structures</h3>

Some species have anatomical characteristics that are very similar to those present in individuals of other species. Although these structures often do not have the same function, it is possible to infer that, at some point, these species had a common ancestor.

<h3>Biochemistry and Metabolism</h3>

The analysis of cells and the biochemistry of organisms have revealed that there is much similarity between all living beings. This fact suggests that, at some point in evolutionary history, we had a common ancestor.

It can be seen, therefore, that the theory of evolution is supported by several pillars and every day it is more evident that living beings undergo changes over time.

With this information, we conclude that <u>all alternatives are evidence of evolution.</u>
