Detailed explanation-1: -DNA consists of two long polymers (called strands) that run in opposite directions and form the regular geometry of the double helix. The monomers of DNA are called nucleotides. Nucleotides have three components: a base, a sugar (deoxyribose) and a phosphate residue.
Detailed explanation-2: -Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) are polymers composed of monomers called nucleotides.
Detailed explanation-3: -DNA is a polymer. The monomer units of DNA are nucleotides, and the polymer is known as a “polynucleotide.” Each nucleotide consists of a 5-carbon sugar (deoxyribose), a nitrogen containing base attached to the sugar, and a phosphate group.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
