which of the following descriptions best fits the class of molecules known
as nucleotides?
a five-carbon sugar, a phosphate group and a purine
a nitrogen base and a five-carbon sugar
a nitrogen base and a phosphate group
a pyrimidine, a purine and a five-carbon sugar
a nitrogen base, a phosphate group and a five-carbon sugar

Explanation:

Question 1

Chromosomes contain DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), not RNA (ribonucleic acid). DNA carries the genetic code. RNA has different functions such as mRNA (messenger RNA) which helps in protein synthesis based on the DNA code.

Nucleotides are the building blocks of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA). A nucleotide consists of a nitrogen - containing base (which can be a purine or a pyrimidine), a five - carbon sugar (deoxyribose in DNA and ribose in RNA), and a phosphate group.

Answer:

False
