Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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). In RNA, the base uracil (U) takes the place of thymine.
Detailed explanation-2: -Each nucleotide, in turn, is made up of a nitrogenous base, a pentose sugar, and a phosphate.
