Question

question(s) 5 of 10: 5. which part of the term \deoxyribonucleic acid\ indicates where dna is located? 2 pts. a. acid b. ribo c. nucleic d. oxy flag this question for later review

Explanation:

None of the provided prefixes/suffixes in the term "deoxyribonucleic acid" indicate the location of DNA. The term describes the chemical structure: "deoxy-" means lacking an oxygen, "ribo" refers to the sugar ribose, "nucleic" relates to the nucleus (but this is the origin of discovery, not a direct location indicator in the term's parts), and "acid" refers to its chemical property. However, among the options, none correctly answer the question as phrased. But if we consider the closest link, "nucleic" is derived from "nucleus", where DNA is primarily located in eukaryotic cells.

Answer:

C. nucleic
