Question
![**Question 20**
The molecules shown below are:
[Diagram showing two nucleotide structures labeled A and B]
- **A:** Structure labeled A is depicted as a deoxyribose sugar attached to a nitrogenous base.
- **B:** Structure labeled B also shows a deoxyribose sugar linked to a different nitrogenous base.
**Multiple Choice Answers:**
- ○ A = deoxyadenylate; B = thymidylate
- ○ A = deoxythymidylate; B = guanylate
- ○ A = adenylate; B = deoxythymidylate
- ○ A = guanylate; B = deoxyadenylate
- ○ A = deoxyadenylate; B = uridylate
**Explanation:**
Each molecule comprises a sugar (deoxyribose), a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base, distinguishing them as nucleotides. The differences in their nitrogenous bases help identify the specific nucleotides. The options provide pairings of potential identities for each structure.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F25ed6d53-6cda-49ef-bd97-901cc08606d7%2Fe63b0ea2-89ab-44c8-9b74-d390e244fbdd%2F7c16lfp_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
