Answer 1

Favourite answer

The three components of a nucleotide ...

Sugar - Either ribose or deoxyribose (in RNA or DNA)

Nitrogenous base - Adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine (only in DNA), uracil (only in RNA)

Phosphates - One to three, two of which are usually hydrolyzed to provide the energy to attach the nucleotide and form the phosphodiester bond

Answer 3

For DNA nucleotides.

A pentose sugar named deoxyribose.

Either 1 of four nitrogenous base (Cytosine, Guanine, Thymine, Adenine)

Up to 3 phosphate groups.

For RNA nucleotides replace deoxyribose with ribose and thymine with uracil.

Answer 4

There are two types of nucleotides.

1. Deoxyribo nucleotide

2. Ribose nucleotide

Deoxyribose nucleotides makes DNA. one DNA nucleotide contain,

deoxyribose sugar

phosphate group and

the bases A (adenine) or C (cytosine) or T (Thymine) or G (guanine)

Ribose nucleotides makes RNA. one RNA nucleotide contain,

Ribose sugar

phosphate group and

the bases A (adenine) or C (cytosine) or U (uracil) or G (guanine)
