Detailed explanation-1: -Polymerase is not a part of the structure of nucleotides. It is an enzyme that is used to incorporate nucleotides into a nucleic acid strand such as DNA or RNA during its synthesis.
Detailed explanation-2: -Nucleotides that make the DNA strands contain deoxyribose sugar, phospate molecule and one nitrogenous base out of adenine, guanine, thymine and cytosine. Uracil is never a part of nucleotide of DNA. It is present in RNA.
Detailed explanation-3: -A molecule consisting of a nitrogen-containing base (adenine, guanine, thymine, or cytosine in DNA; adenine, guanine, uracil, or cytosine in RNA), a phosphate group, and a sugar (deoxyribose in DNA; ribose in RNA).
Detailed explanation-4: -Each nucleotide, in turn, is made up of a nitrogenous base, a pentose sugar, and a phosphate.
Detailed explanation-5: -Nucleosides are glycosylamines that can be thought of as nucleotides without a phosphate group.
