Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The monomer of DNA is known as a(n)
A
Amino acid
B
Pentose sugar
C
Nucleotide
D
Phosphate ion
E
Nitrogenous base
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -DNA is made up of four building blocks called nucleotides: adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C). The nucleotides attach to each other (A with T, and G with C) to form chemical bonds called base pairs, which connect the two DNA strands.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -Nucleic acids are giant biomolecules made of monomers called nucleotides.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
