○ phosphodiester bonds

Explanation:

First Question (Staphylococcus aureus naming)

In binomial nomenclature, an organism's scientific name has two parts: the genus (first, capitalized) and the species (second, lowercase). In Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus is the genus, so aureus is the species name. Kingdom, family, and domain are higher taxonomic ranks, and the genus is the first part here.

DNA consists of nucleotides (with thymine as a base), has complementary base pairing, and phosphodiester bonds between nucleotides. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, not DNA.

Answer:

D. species name
