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? A)The nucleic acid is RNA and would be found in the cytoplasm. B)The nucleic acid is DNA and would be found in the cytoplasm. C)The nucleic acid is RNA and would be found in the cell wall. D)The nucleic acid is DNA and would be found in the cell’s nucleus.
D
well. there are ds-DNA bacteria, which have their DNA in the cytoplasm. :-) but considering he knows what kind of cell he is looking at, he could conclude one of the answers B or D.
