Best Answer

There are four nucleotides that make up DNA: Adenine, Thymine, Guanine and Cytosine. There are billions of them that make up one strand of DNA. Adenine always pairs with Thymine and Guanine always pairs with Cytosine.

Also, in the Rna during DNA transcription, Uracil replaces Thymine and pairs with Adenine instead.

Adenine (A) Thymine (T) Guanine (G) Cytosine (C)

DNA nucleotides. Note that adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine are NOT nucleotides, but they are only the bases which make the nucleotides different.

How many strands of nucleotides are in a DNA molecule?

There are two strands of DNA in a DNA double helix, each consisting of many nucleotide subunits. They are like building blocks that make up the DNA molecule, which would then be like a block tower. A 'strand of nucleotides' as you put it would basically be a DNA molecule (if they are deoxyribose nucleotides) or if they are ribose nucleotides, they would be a RNA molecule. DNA can come in double stranded helices (most of the time) or can be single stranded (as in some viruses).


Is the monomers of DNA are nucleic acids?

No, the monomers which make up DNA are nucleotides.
