Q52 / 180 · KCET 2022 · Chemistry

A nucleic acid, whether DNA or RNA gives on complete hydrolysis, two purine bases, two pyrimidine bases, a pentose sugar and phosphoric acid. Nucleotides which are intermediate products in the hydrolysis contain

  • A
    a purine base, pentose sugar and ortho-phosphoric acid
  • B
    purine or pyrimidine base and ortho-phosphoric acid
  • Correct answer
    C
    purine or pyrimidine base, a pentose sugar and ortho-phosphoric acid
  • D
    purine or pyrimidine base and pentose sugar

Solution

Three part of nucleotide are ortho phosphoric acid, pentose sugar and nitrogenous base (purine or pyrimidine base).

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
