What are the monomers of nucleic acids?
A
Monosaccharides
B
Amino acids
C
Nucleotides
D
Triglycerides
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: -Chemists call the monomers “nucleotides.” The five pieces are uracil, cytosine, thymine, adenine, and guanine.

Detailed explanation-3: -The monomers of the DNA are called nucleotides. Nucleotides are composed of four components-a base, deoxyribose sugar, and phosphate residue. DNA is composed of four types of monomers or nucleotides-

Detailed explanation-4: -A nucleotide is a monomer that serves as the building blocks for deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or ribonucleic acid (RNA). Examples of nucleotides are ribonucleotides or deoxyribonucleotides.

Detailed explanation-5: -There are four nucleotides, or bases, in DNA: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T). These bases form specific pairs (A with T, and G with C).
