B)UMP
C)deoxyguanosine
D)deoxyribose
E)deoxythymidine diphosphate

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A nucleotide in DNA consists of a sugar (deoxyribose), a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. Deoxyguanosine is a nucleoside, which is a sugar (deoxyribose) bound to a nitrogenous base (guanine), and would be found in DNA. Adenosine triphosphate (A) is a nucleotide found in RNA and plays a role in energy transfer. UMP (B) is a nucleoside found in RNA. Deoxyribose (D) is the sugar component of DNA, but it is not a nucleoside since it is not bound to a nitrogenous base. Deoxythymidine diphosphate (E) is a nucleotide that is a precursor to thymine nucleotides in DNA, but it is not a nucleoside found in DNA.
