Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The molecules that serve as the building blocks of DNA and RNA. Nucleotides consist of one nitrogenous base – adenine, cytosine, guanine, or thymine (uracil in RNA), a sugar (deoxyribose in DNA, ribose in RNA) and a phosphate group.
Detailed explanation-2: -A molecule consisting of a nitrogen-containing base (adenine, guanine, thymine, or cytosine in DNA; adenine, guanine, uracil, or cytosine in RNA), a phosphate group, and a sugar (deoxyribose in DNA; ribose in RNA).
Detailed explanation-3: -The five-carbon sugar in DNA is called deoxyribose, while in RNA, the sugar is ribose.
