d. UMP

Short answer

The answers to this questions is:

a) Base - Cytosine Sugar - Ribose

b) Base - Adenine Sugar -Deoxyribose

c) Base - Cytosine Sugar - Ribose

d) Base -Uracil- Ribose

Step-by-step solution

Part (a) Step 1: Given information

We have to tell base and sugar in the given nucleotide.

CMP

Part (a) Step 2: Explanation

The nitrogenous base for the nucleotide adenosine, while the sugar present is ribose.

Base - Cytosine Sugar - Ribose

Part (b) Step 1: Given information

We have to tell base and sugar in the given nucleotide.

dTMP

Part (a) Step 2: Explanation

The pyrimidine base thymine, and the sugar present was deoxyribose.

Base - Adenine Sugar -Deoxyribose

Part (c) Step 1: Given information

We have to tell base and sugar in the given nucleotide.

dAMP

Part (c) Step 2: Explanation

The nitrogenous base for the nucleotide adenosine, while the sugar present is ribose.

Base - Cytosine Sugar - Ribose

Part (d) Step 1: Given information

We have to tell base and sugar in the given nucleotide.

UMP

Part (d) Step 2: Explanation

The nitrogenous base for the nucleotide adenosine, while the sugar present is ribose.

Base -Uracil- Ribose
