Detailed explanation-1: -The three components of a nucleotide are nitrogenous base, sugar and phosphate. Was this answer helpful?
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: -A molecule consisting of a nitrogen-containing base (adenine, guanine, thymine, or cytosine in DNA; adenine, guanine, uracil, or cytosine in RNA), a phosphate group, and a sugar (deoxyribose in DNA; ribose in RNA).
Detailed explanation-4: -There are four nucleotides, or bases, in DNA: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T).
Detailed explanation-5: -Nucleotides have three major components: a sugar, a phosphate, and a nitrogenous base. The 5-carbon sugar and phosphate groups link together with other nucleotides to form a sugar-phosphate backbone.
