Respuesta :
A DNA nucleotide is composed of deoxyribose sugar, which is bonded to both a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base. They have the nitrogenous base bonded to their 1' carbon and a phosphate group to their 5' carbon. DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid, and you can see that it has deoxyribose, instead of ribose, in it from the name.
DNA nucleotide is composed of a deoxyribose sugar, which is attached to a phosphate group, which is bonded to a nitrogenous base.
Further Explanation
Nucleic Acids
- Nucleic acids are one of the four major bio-molecules in nature. Nuclei acids is divided into two; RNA and DNA.
- The building blocks of nucleic acids are Nucleotides which are made by a nitrogenous base, a sugar and a phosphate group.
DNA
- DNA is a nuclei acid that is responsible for carrying genetic information in living organisms.
- It is through DNA that genetic information is passed from one organism to another through the process of DNA replication.
- Additionally, it carries the information that is used to make proteins which performs various functions in living cells.
- Each Nucleotide in DNA contains a nitrogenous base, a deoxyribose sugar, and a phosphate group.
- DNA molecules are made up of nitrogenous bases; Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and Thymine.
RNA
- Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a type of nucleic acid, a molecule that plays a major role in the flow of information from the DNA to the proteins. For a gene to be expressed information has to be passed through the RNA.
- Each nucleotide in RNA contains a nitrogenous base, a ribose sugar, and a phosphate group.
- Nitrogenous bases in RNA includes; Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and uracil. Thymine in DNA is replaced with Uracil.
