Nucleotides are building blocks of nucleic acids. Each nucleotide is a composite molecule formed by

  1. base-sugar-phosphate
  2. base-sugar-OH
  3. (base-sugar-phosphate)n
  4. sugar-phosphate

Answer

(1) base-sugar-phosphate

Solution

As per NCERT, a nitrogenous base attached to a sugar is called a nucleoside, and if a phosphate group is also esterified to the sugar the compound is called a nucleotide.

So a nucleotide = base + sugar + phosphate, whereas (base-sugar-phosphate)n is a polynucleotide (nucleic acid) and base-sugar is a nucleoside.
