In living things, smaller substances are linked to make up larger substances. which of the following correctly describes a larger substance made by linking smaller substances?

nucleic acids are linked to make up proteins.

amino acids are linked to make up dna.

proteins are linked to make up nucleotides.

nucleotides are linked to make up dna.

Answer:

Nucleotides are linked to make up DNA                                                

Explanation:

DNA is also called deoxyribose nucleic acid, it is the cause of heredity in our body. DNA is formed by certain molecules which are known as nucleotides. The nucleotide is further divided into a phosphate group, a base that is made of nitrogen and sugar.

Nitrogen bases are namely adenine, guanine, thymine and cytosine. It is a double-stranded helix structure. The double-stranded DNA structure consists of two polynucleotides which are arranged with nitrogen bases.

both male and female gametes are produced by meiosis of the germ cells. therefore, both male and female gametes are haploid. one male and one female gamete unite during the fertilization to form the diploid zygote. in seed bearing plants, pollen grain is the male gametophyte, which produces sperm cells.
