Question

the sugar found in dna is multiple choice glucose. glycogen. deoxyribose. lactose.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

To determine the sugar in DNA, we analyze each option:

  • Glucose is a common monosaccharide but not in DNA.
  • Glycogen is a storage polysaccharide in animals, not in DNA structure.
  • Deoxyribose is the pentose sugar in DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), as DNA's name implies "deoxyribo-".
  • Lactose is a disaccharide (milk sugar) and not part of DNA.

Answer:

C. deoxyribose (Note: Assuming the third option is labeled C; if the original labels were different, adjust the identifier, but the text is "deoxyribose".)
