Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Nucleic acids are the polymers of ____ .
A
Nucleosides
B
Nucleotides
C
Bases
D
Sugars
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Nucleic acids are polymers of nucleotides joined by covalent (phosphodiester) bonds formed between their sugar and phosphate groups.

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: -DNA and RNA molecules are polymers made up of long chains of nucleotides.

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

Detailed explanation-5: -Complete answer: Nucleic acids are macromolecules that are present as polymers called polynucleotides.
