Question

carbon
hydrogen
oxygen
nitrogen
phosphorus
sulfur
done

Explanation:

Genetic material (like DNA and RNA) is made of nucleotides. Nucleotides have a sugar (containing C, H, O), a phosphate group (containing P, O), and a nitrogenous base (containing C, H, O, N). So carbon (C), hydrogen (H), oxygen (O), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) are involved. Sulfur (S) is not a main element in genetic material's structure.

Answer:

• carbon
• hydrogen
• oxygen
• nitrogen
• phosphorus
