Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The monomers of DNA and RNA are
A
nucleotides
B
nucleic acids
C
amino acids
D
monosaccharides
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). The sugar and phosphate create a backbone down either side of the double helix.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nucleotides. DNA and RNA are polymers (in the case of DNA, often very long polymers), and are made up of monomers known as nucleotides.

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: -Both DNA and RNA are polymers of nucleotides, each of which contains a pentose sugar (ribose in RNA, and deoxyribose in DNA), a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base (three of these bases are consistent in both DNA, and RNA except for thymine and uracil). There is no acid in nucleotides.

Detailed explanation-5: -DNA and RNA both have the same type of monomers: nucleotides. These nucleotides join together into long strands to make the DNA or RNA.
