**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.
