What is the monomer of nucleic acids?
A
Glycerol
B
Monosaccharides
C
Amino Acids
D
Nucleotides
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -There are five easy parts of nucleic acids. All nucleic acids are made up of the same building blocks (monomers). Chemists call the monomers “nucleotides.” The five pieces are uracil, cytosine, thymine, adenine, and guanine. No matter what science class you are in, you will always hear about ATCG when looking at DNA.

Detailed explanation-3: -Nucleotides are organic molecules composed of a nitrogenous base, a pentose sugar and a phosphate. They serve as monomeric units of the nucleic acid polymers – deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA), both of which are essential biomolecules within all life-forms on Earth.

Detailed explanation-4: -Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) are polymers composed of monomers called nucleotides.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
