Question

in dna nucleotides, the 5 - carbon sugar is called deoxyribose. this model shows the four different nucleotides that can be found in dna. select the true statements. all four dna nucleotides have identical 5 - carbon sugars. all four dna nucleotides have identical phosphate groups. all four dna nucleotides have identical nitrogenous bases.

Explanation:

In DNA nucleotides, the 5 - carbon sugar is deoxyribose for all four nucleotides (adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine), and the phosphate group is the same in each nucleotide structure. However, the nitrogenous bases are different (adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine).

Answer:

All four DNA nucleotides have identical 5 - carbon sugars.
All four DNA nucleotides have identical phosphate groups.
