NURSING ANM AND GNM

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. The bases used in DNA are adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and thymine (T).

Detailed explanation-2: -Nucleotides are the building blocks of nucleic acid. Each nucleotide consists of three parts: a sugar (ribose for RNA and deoxyribose for DNA), a phosphate, and a nitrogenous base.

Detailed explanation-3: -The statement above is false because nucleotides are the components of DNA molecules. The building blocks of proteins are amino acids.

Detailed explanation-4: -The monomers of DNA are called nucleotides. Nucleotides have three components: a base, a sugar (deoxyribose) and a phosphate residue.
