which of the following could be a nucleotide of rna?
deoxyribose + phosphate group + thymine
deoxyribose + phosphate group + uracil
ribose + phosphate group + thymine
ribose + phosphate group + uracil

Explanation:

• RNA nucleotides consist of ribose (not deoxyribose), a phosphate group, and a nitrogen - containing base.
• The bases in RNA are adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and uracil (U). Thymine (T) is found in DNA, not RNA.

Answer:

ribose + phosphate group + uracil
