question 2
1.75 pts
\bio\ is a word root meaning \life\ and \logy\ is a suffix meaning \study of\. which of the following disciplines best fits with the deconstructive analysis?
○ anatomy
○ biology

Explanation:

Question 1

To determine the monomer of DNA, we recall biological concepts: Amino acids are monomers of proteins, nucleic acids are macromolecules (DNA is a nucleic acid), and nucleotides are the building blocks (monomers) of nucleic acids like DNA. So the correct monomer is nucleotides. The initially selected "amino acids" is incorrect.

Using the word - root analysis: "Bio" means life and "logy" means study of. "Biology" is formed from these roots, meaning the study of life. "Anatomy" is the study of body structure and does not fit this root - suffix combination.

Answer:

C. nucleotides (assuming options are labeled as A. amino acids, B. nucleic acids, C. nucleotides)
