Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The nucleic acid polymers (DNA/RNA) are made up of which monomer(s)?
A
nucleotides
B
glycerols and fatty acids
C
amino acids
D
monosaccharides
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) are polymers composed of monomers called nucleotides. An RNA nucleotide consists of a five-carbon sugar phosphate linked to one of four nucleic acid bases: guanine (G), cytosine (C), adenine (A) and uracil (U).

Detailed explanation-2: -Nucleotides. DNA and RNA are polymers (in the case of DNA, often very long polymers), and are made up of monomers known as nucleotides.

Detailed explanation-3: -Nucleotides are monomers of nucleic acids, DNA and RNA. A nucleotide is made up of a nitrogenous base (adenine, thymine, guanine, cytosine, or uracil), a phosphate group (PO43−), and a 5-carbon sugar.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Nucleotides are the monomers that make up the nucleic acid polymers.
