(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Whether cytosine is a nucleotide, nucleoside or neither a nucleotide nor a nucleoside has to be predicted.

Concept introduction: A nucleotide consists of a pentose sugar, a nitrogen-containing base, and a phosphate group while a nucleoside consists of a nitrogen-containing base and a pentose sugar.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Whether cytidine is a nucleotide, nucleoside or neither a nucleotide nor a nucleoside has to be predicted.

Concept introduction: A nucleotide consists of a pentose sugar, a nitrogen-containing base, and a phosphate group while a nucleoside consists of a nitrogen-containing base and a pentose sugar.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Whether CMP is a nucleotide, nucleoside or neither a nucleotide nor a nucleoside has to be predicted.

Concept introduction: A nucleotide consists of a pentose sugar, a nitrogen-containing base, and a phosphate group while a nucleoside consists of a nitrogen-containing base and a pentose sugar.

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Whether deoxycytidine 5’-monophosphate is a nucleotide, nucleoside or neither a nucleotide nor a nucleoside has to be predicted.

Concept introduction: A nucleotide consists of a pentose sugar, a nitrogen-containing base, and a phosphate group while a nucleoside consists of a nitrogen-containing base and a pentose sugar.
