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: -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-3: -Nucleotides are the monomers of nucleic acids. A monomer is a single molecule that is linked together many times to form a polymer. Nucleic acid polymers are formed by many nucleotide molecules linked together. Each individual nucleotide has a sugar group, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.
