Answer to Problem 9STP

Option B

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

A type of nucleic acid called deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is found in the cells.

DNA is an organic polymer. Nucleotides combine together to form the DNA molecule. Nucleotide is made up of an organic base, sugar and a phosphate group. Nucleotides are chain like structures. A DNA molecule is formed by a pair of nucleotides.

Conclusion:

The double helix structure that looks like a chain ladder is the shape of a DNA.
