Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nucleotides, the building blocks of DNA and RNA, are composed of a sugar (deoxyribose in DNA, ribose in RNA), a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base (adenine, guanine, thymine in DNA/cytosine, or uracil in RNA). 2-deoxy glucose is not a component of nucleotides.
