Select the correct answer. what are the basic building blocks of dna and rna? a. nucleotides b. phosphorous c. proteins d. sugar

Each RNA nucleotide consists of three parts: a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen-containing base. The four RNA bases are adenine, uracil, guanine, and cytosine—often referred to as A, U, G, and C. RNA shares three bases in common with DNA: adenine, guanine, and cytosine. Instead of uracil, DNA contains thymine.

Nucleotides are the macromolecular building blocks of DNA and RNA. ... The nitrogenous base that makes up the nucleotide can vary between adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine (in DNA) and uracil (in RNA). Furthermore, the sugar can also vary between deoxyribose in DNA and ribose in RNA.

c.) polymerase chain reaction

- "unlike the original dna fingerprinting method, dna profiling does not use restriction enzymes to cut the dna. instead it uses the polymerase chain reaction (pcr)? to produce many copies of specific str sequences. pcr is an automated procedure that generates lots of copies of a specific sequence of dna."
