It became apparent to Watson and Crick after completion of their model that the DNA molecule could carry a vast amount of hereditary information in its
a. sequence of bases.
b. phosphate-sugar backbones.
c. complementary pairing of bases.
d. side groups of nitrogenous bases.
e. different five-carbon sugars.

a. sequence of bases
they only figured out the structure
All of the bases contain some Nitrogen. A, G and C all have -NH2 (amine) groups on their ring structures. T and U do not. so definitely not "D"

I think the answer is A.
Well, not sure if after their completion of the model it was apparent,
but the sequence of the bases IS the important part.

I think the correct answer should be D, because that refers to the RNA, the real reduplication agent, on which still a lot of research has to be done. The hereditary information in the DNA is carried by a sequence of bases, so if only the DNA is concerned, A is correct, but when you switch to the RNA, it rather would be D.
