A monomer of DNA is called a(n)
A
Monosaccharide
B
Amino Acid
C
Triglyceride
D
Nucleotide
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The monomers of DNA are called nucleotides. Nucleotides have three components: a base, a sugar (deoxyribose) and a phosphate residue. The four bases are adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and thymine (T).

Detailed explanation-2: -DNA is made up of four building blocks called nucleotides: adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C). The nucleotides attach to each other (A with T, and G with C) to form chemical bonds called base pairs, which connect the two DNA strands.

Detailed explanation-3: -DNA is a double helix structure that contains the genetic information of organisms. The smallest unit from which a large molecule is formed is known as the monomer. The monomer of the DNA is a nucleotide.

Detailed explanation-4: -Following are the important differences between DNA and RNA: DNA and RNA Difference. DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) RNA (Ribonucleic acid) Definition.

Detailed explanation-5: -Definition. A nucleotide is the basic building block of nucleic acids (RNA and DNA). A nucleotide consists of a sugar molecule (either ribose in RNA or deoxyribose in DNA) attached to a phosphate group and a nitrogen-containing base. The bases used in DNA are adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and thymine (T).
