Answer: deoxyribose + phosphate group + cytosine

Explanation: DNA nucleotides are made up of three components: deoxyribose, phosphate group and a nitrogenous base. The nitrogenous bases found in DNA are Adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine. The DNA is a double-stranded helical structure in which the phosphate group and deoxyribose make up the phosphodeoxyribose backbone that forms the rail of the helix while the nitrogenous bases that pair with one another form the rungs of the helix. In the base pairing, cytosine pairs with guanine and thymine pairs with adenine.

The genetic material is stored and passed from the DNA which is vital for cell functioning and hereditary. The DNA is made up of nucleotides and acts as a backbone for the nucleic acid structures.

The nucleotide that is found in DNA is:

Option D. deoxyribose + phosphate group + cytosine

This can be explained as:

  • The nucleotide of nucleic acid comprises a base, sugar molecule and phosphate group.

  • In the first and second options phosphate group is linked to two nucleotides which is not the correct sequence.

  • The third option is also incorrect as sugar and phosphate are bonded to polymerase and polymerase is not a part of nucleotide.

Therefore, the fourth sequence comprising sugar, phosphate and base (cytosine) is correct.
