(b)
Interpretation:
From the given segment of a nucleic acid, each nucleotide should be circled and named.
Concept introduction:
Nucleotides are distinguished from one another by identifying the nitrogenous bases attached to the sugar group. In both, RNA and DNA, it is the specific sequence of the nitrogenous bases that determines the genetic information that is stored or carried. There are four types of five nitrogenous bases that could be present in RNA and DNA. Uracil, guanine, adenine, cytosine, thymine are the nitrogenous bases present in RNA and DNA. In a nucleotide, the
