Name 3 parts of a DNA nucleotide.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for the components of a DNA nucleotide, which includes the parts that make up its structure.
Answer
Phosphate group, deoxyribose sugar, nitrogenous base
The three parts of a DNA nucleotide are a phosphate group, a deoxyribose sugar, and a nitrogenous base.
Answer for screen readers
The three parts of a DNA nucleotide are a phosphate group, a deoxyribose sugar, and a nitrogenous base.
More Information
These three components are essential for the DNA molecule's structure and function. The deoxyribose sugar and phosphate group form the backbone, while the nitrogenous bases pair to encode genetic information.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing the bases in RNA with those in DNA. Remember, DNA uses adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine.
