Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is the monomer of a nucleic acid?
A
Amino Acid
B
Monosaccharide
C
Nucleotide
D
Nitrogenous Base
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: -Nucleic acids are giant biomolecules made of monomers called nucleotides. Nucleotides have three components: pentose sugar (5-carbon sugar), phosphate group, and nitrogenous base.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
