|
|
Hydrogen Base

Nitrogen Base

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -When these monomers combine, the resulting chain is called a polynucleotide (poly-= “many"). Each nucleotide is made up of three parts: a nitrogen-containing ring structure called a nitrogenous base, a five-carbon sugar, and at least one phosphate group.
Detailed explanation-2: -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). The sugar and phosphate create a backbone down either side of the double helix.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cistron: It is the smallest and functional segment of DNA length, which codes protein during the translation process.
