While looking at a cell under a microscope, a scientist is able to see a biological molecule. This molecule is a nucleic acid with double strands and contains the nitrogenous bases adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine. Based on this information, what conclusion can the scientist draw regarding this nucleic acid?

Respuesta :

Based on the information it can be concluded that this molecule is Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA).

Answer:

The correct answer will be-DNA

Explanation:

DNA is a bio-molecule which acts as the heredity material of an organism. DNA molecules exist in the helical form made of two strands.

The strands are composed of nucleotide. Each nucleotide contains four different nitrogenous bases called adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine, a five-carbon and a phosphate group.

Since the observed molecule is double-stranded and contains different types of nitrogenous bases therefore, DNA is the material scientist was observing.

Thus, DNA is the correct answer.
