Question

Which of the following is/are function of nucleotides?

• A. They are building blocks of nucleic acids
• B. They act as secondary messengers in hormone controlled chemical reactions
• C. They act as coenzymes
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

(A) Nucleotides are the building blocks of nucleic acid because they are the primary molecules which are arranged in a sequence to form the nucleic acids.

(B) they are secondary messengers in hormone controlled reactions because CAMP, CGMP etc which are formed are directly expressed in the nucleus.

(C) They also act as coenzymes in reactions such as NAD+, FAD in biochemical reactions.

So, the correct option is D.
