A polymer made of nucleotides is known as a ____
A
Nucleic acid
B
Carbohydrate
C
Lipid
D
Polypeptide
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The polymer of nucleotides is called RNA (Ribonucleic acid) and DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid). Both nucleic acids RNA and DNA consist of Polymer of nucleotides.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nucleic acids are biological macromolecules which are polymers of repeating monomeric units called nucleotides. A single nucleotide includes a nitrogenous base, a sugar molecule and a phosphate group. A nitrogenous base with a sugar molecule alone makes up a nucleoside.

Detailed explanation-3: -A nucleic acid is a polymeric macromolecule made up of repeated units of monomeric ‘nucleotides’ composed of a nitrogenous heterocyclic base which is either a purine or a pyrimidine, a pentose (five carbon) sugar (either ribose or 2′-deoxyribose), and one to three phosphate groups.
