(question 12) What is the monomer of nucleic acids?
A
Glycerol
B
Monosaccharides
C
Amino Acids
D
Nucleotides
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Nucleotides are monomers of nucleic acids, DNA and RNA.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Nucleotides are monomers of nucleic acids, DNA and RNA. A nucleotide is made up of a nitrogenous base (adenine, thymine, guanine, cytosine, or uracil), a phosphate group (PO43−), and a 5-carbon sugar.

Detailed explanation-4: -Nucleotides are the monomers of nucleic acids. A monomer is a single molecule that is linked together many times to form a polymer. Nucleic acid polymers are formed by many nucleotide molecules linked together. Each individual nucleotide has a sugar group, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.

Detailed explanation-5: -Explanation: Nucleotides are monomers of nucleic acids, DNA and RNA . A nucleotide is made up of a nitrogenous base (adenine, thymine, guanine, cytosine, or uracil), a phosphate group (PO3−4), and a 5-carbon sugar.
