Cells

Explanation:

The cells are the smallest unit of the body of the living being. The number and size of the cell may vary depending upon the complexity in the function and life cycle of the living beings.

The cells are necessary for growth and reproduction in the organism. The growth process involves the increase in size and number of cells in an organism which facilitates it's increase in length.

The cells get split into daughter cells, by cell division hence, this way reproduce the progeny organisms.

hey, i believe your answer would be d. sugar ribose and the base uracil. i believe this is the answer, because rna consists of sugar ribose, adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil.

your first option is incorrect, because that's dna. where it consists of sugar deoxyribose, adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine.

your second option is also incorrect, this is because sugar deoxyribose is in dna, and uracil is in rna. these two do not make sense together.

your third option being incorrect, because sugar ribose is in rna, but not the base of thymine. rna consists of uracil, not thymine.

lastly your fourth option being correct! this answer is correct, because both sugar ribose, and the base uracil are in rna! ~

answer is d. sugar ribose and the base uracil.
