Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Hence the three components of a nucleotide are nitrogenous base, a pentose sugar, and phosphate.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -In both DNA and RNA, a nucleotide consists of three parts: Nitrogenous base (base): A nitrogenous base (simply called a “base” in the context of biochemistry) is an organic molecule that contains nitrogen.
