Which biogeochemical cycle is used in the creation of nucleic acids?
A. Nitrogen cycle
B. Water cycle
C. Phosphorus cycle
D. Primary productivity
Answer (1)
The phosphorus cycle is essential for the creation of nucleic acids, as it provides the phosphate groups necessary for nucleotides. Nucleotides are the building blocks of DNA and RNA. In contrast, the nitrogen cycle and water cycle do not directly contribute to nucleic acid synthesis. ;
