A correct example of a nucleotide is:

  • A.adenosine monophosphate (AMP)
  • B.RNA
  • C.uridine
  • D.DNA

Answer: A

The nucleotide is adenosine monophosphate (AMP).

A nucleotide has three parts: a nitrogenous base, a pentose sugar, and one or more phosphate groups. AMP is adenine attached to ribose, with a phosphate on the 5' carbon.

Uridine is a nucleoside, uracil plus ribose with no phosphate. RNA and DNA are polynucleotides, long chains of nucleotides joined by phosphodiester bonds, so they are built from nucleotides rather than being single examples of one.
