Question

Which of the following statements about nucleic acids and nucleotides is true? a Nucleotides are chains of nucleic acids held together by bonds. b Nucleic acids are composed of subunits called nucleotides. c Nucleotides and nucleic acids are the same thing. d None of the above

Answer 1

The true statement among the options is:

**b Nucleic acids are composed of subunits called nucleotides.**

Nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA, are large biomolecules composed of repeating units called nucleotides. These nucleotides are the building blocks of nucleic acids and consist of a phosphate group, a sugar molecule, and a nitrogenous base. They are linked together to form the polymer chains of nucleic acids.
