Nucleotides are formed by

  • purine, sugar and phosphate

  • purine, pyrimidine and phosphate

  • purine, pyrimidine sugar and phosphate

  • pyrimidine, sugar and phosphate

Solution

C.

purine, pyrimidine sugar and phosphate

The nucleotide is formed by the union of a phosphate group with a nucleoside. A nucleoside in fact contains a sugar molecule along with an organic nitrogenous base. Thus, a nucleotide contains an organic nitrogenous base (purine or pyrimidine) along with a sugar molecule and a phosphate group, Nucleoside = Sugars molecule + organic nitrogenous based on Nucleotide = Nucleoside + Phosphate group.
