D) none of the above

Answer 1

Hello.

The answer is 

B) nitrogen base

There are 3 compands that is sugar, A Phosphate, One of 4 bases (Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, Thymine)

A nitrogen base is not one of the bases so that is wrong.

Have a ncie day

Answer 2

All of the options mentioned are components of nucleotides, and thereby Option NONE OF THE ABOVE is correct (Option D).

• Nucleotides are the building blocks of nucleic acids, either DNA or RNA.

• A nucleotide is composed of a pentose sugar (either deoxyribose in DNA or ribose in RNA), a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.

• The nitrogenous bases in DNA are Adenine (A), Guanine (G), Cytosine (C) and Thymine (T).

• In RNA, Thymine (T) bases are replaced by Uracil (U) bases.

In conclusion, all of the options are components of nucleotides, and thereby Option NONE OF THE ABOVE is correct (Option D).
