ANSWER:
Solution 69P :
Step 1:
Nucleotides are the individual units that compose the nucleic acids. Nucleotides consists of 3 parts : (1) A phosphate, (2) a sugar and (3) a base.
Each base in the nucleotide is complementary which is capable of pairing precisely. with only one other base. Base Adenine (A), hydrogen-bonds only with the base thymine (T). And base cytosine (C) hydrogen-bonds only with base guanine (G).
