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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is made up of sugar, a nitrogenous base and a phosphate group (Figure 1.2). The combination of these molecules makes the building blocks for the DNA synthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Nucleotides are the building blocks of nucleic acids. Each nucleotide is a composite organic molecule made up of a nitrogen base, five carbon sugars and at least one phosphate group.
