Detailed explanation-1: -A nucleotide is the basic building block of nucleic acids (RNA and DNA). 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).
Detailed explanation-2: -Nucleic acid monomers are called nucleotides; protein monomers are called amino acids; lipid monomers are called fatty acids; and carbohydrate monomers are called monosaccharides (MAH-nuh-SA-kuh-riyd). All types of monomers are organic molecules, meaning that they contain carbon-to-carbon bonds.
Detailed explanation-3: -Each nucleotide in DNA contains one of four possible nitrogenous bases: adenine (A), guanine (G) cytosine (C), and thymine (T). Each nucleotide in RNA contains one of four possible nitrogenous bases: adenine (A), guanine (G) cytosine (C), and uracil (U).
