A nucleic acid, whether DNA or RNA gives on complete hydrolysis, two purine bases, two pyrimidine bases, a pentose sugar and phosphoric acid. Nucleotides which are intermediate products in the hydrolysis contain
Options
- Aa purine base, pentose sugar and ortho-phosphoric acid
- Bpurine or pyrimidine base and ortho-phosphoric acid
- Cpurine or pyrimidine base, a pentose sugar and ortho-phosphoric acid
- Dpurine or pyrimidine base and pentose sugar
Correct answer
C. purine or pyrimidine base, a pentose sugar and ortho-phosphoric acid
Step-by-step solution
Three part of nucleotide are ortho phosphoric acid, pentose sugar and nitrogenous base (purine or pyrimidine base).
