Question

The DNA can also be called a:

A.

Polysaccharide

B.

Polypeptide

C.

Polynucleotide

D.

Polymerase

Correct option is C

The Correct Answer is: (C) Polynucleotide
Explanation:
DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) is a polynucleotide, meaning it is a long chain made up of repeating units called nucleotides.
Each nucleotide in DNA consists of three parts: a sugar (deoxyribose), a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base (Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, or Guanine).
These nucleotides are linked together in a sequence to form the long, double-stranded structure of DNA.
Information Booster:
  • Each strand of DNA is a polymer of nucleotides.

  • Polynucleotide = many nucleotides joined by phosphodiester bonds.

  • DNA carries genetic information crucial for the growth, development, and reproduction of all living organisms.

Additional Information:

  • Polysaccharide ): A polymer made of sugars.

  • Polypeptide ): A polymer of amino acids, which makes up proteins.

  • Polymerase ): An enzyme that helps in the synthesis of DNA or RNA by assembling nucleotides.
