Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What are the monomers of DNA?
A
glycerols
B
amino acids
C
fatty acids
D
nucleotides
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).

Detailed explanation-2: -There are four nucleotide monomers They have short and easy to remember names: A, C, T, G. Each nucleotide monomer is built from three simple molecular parts: a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nucleobase.

Detailed explanation-3: -DNA is composed of four amino acids: adenine, guanine, thymine and cytosine. Each nucleotide, or monomer, has different attributes that allow it to link with the corresponding nucleotide and form a long chain, or sequence.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are four main types of monomer, including sugars, amino acids, fatty acids, and nucleotides. Each of these monomer types play important roles in the existence and development of life, and each one can be synthesized abiotically.

Detailed explanation-5: -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. The bases used in DNA are adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and thymine (T).
