Question

during cell division, dna is replicated using smaller building blocks. these building blocks are made of carbon, hydrogen, phosphorus, nitrogen, and oxygen. which statement best supports the student claim that the building blocks of dna come from glucose? they are long chains of glucose molecules because dna has phosphorus and hydrogen. they are constructed using the elements found in glucose, as both contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. they are modified glucose molecules, as both contain nitrogen and oxygen. they are built off of a glucose template because dna has carbon and phosphorus.

Explanation:

Glucose is composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. The building - blocks of DNA contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen among other elements. A connection can be made based on shared elements. The statement that the building - blocks of DNA are constructed using the elements found in glucose, as both contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, best supports the claim.

Answer:

They are constructed using the elements found in glucose, as both contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
