The given statement "A nucleotide has 6 carbon sugars" is a false statement as nucleotides have pentose or 5- carbon ribose sugar in their composition.
A nucleotide is a compound that is connected to other nucleotides together to form structures of nucleic acids that are RNA and DNA. These compounds have three components linked together to form it, that are:
- Nitrogenous base
- phosphate group
- pentose sugar or 5-carbon sugars
In DNA these pentose sugars are called deoxyribose and in RNA these pentose sugars are called ribose due to the presence of the -OH group on the 2' carbon of the ribose in RNA.
