MCQ
In nucleic acids, the sequence is:
- APhosphate base sugar.
- BSugar phosphate base.
- ✓Phosphate $-$ sugar base.
- DBase phosphate sugar.
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
Phosphate $-$ sugar base.
In nucleic acids, the sequence is phosphate$-$sugar base. Nucleic acids are polymeric macromolecules, or large biological molecules, essential for all known forms of life.
Nucleic acids, which include $\text{DNA}\ ($deoxyribonucleic acid$)$ and $\text{RNA} ($ribonucleic acid$),$ are made from monomers known as nucleotides.
Each nucleotide has three components$:$ a $5-$carbon sugar, a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base.
If the sugar is deoxyribose, the polymer is $\text{DNA}.$ If the sugar is ribose, the polymer is $\text{RNA}.$
