double helix
Nucleotide is a complex formed by combination of nitrogen base(adenine, guanine, thymine, cytosine, uracil), phosphate group and sugar moiety. It generally occurs in RNA and DNA.
DNA is made up of many nucleotides. These are a sugar-phosphate backbone and nitrogenous bases. The two strands form a double helix (a spiral) with the nitrogenous bases in the middle, forming H-bonds with each other.
nucleotides
Ribo-nucleotides [that make up Ribo Nucleic Acid] comprise ribose sugars, phosphate groups for chain bonding, and nitrogenous bases for information content and exchange. 2' deoxy-ribose sugar moieties comprise Deoxy-ribose Nucleic Acid. If a nucleoside is different from a nucleotide I haven't been able to find it. Nucleic acids are made up of nucleotides. Each nucleotide is composed of a sugar + a phosphate + a nitrogen base. The nitrogenous bases are Adenine which pairs with Thymine and Cytosine which pairs with Guanine. Nucleotide polymers, (chains of nucleotides) are made up of nucleotides linked to the -OH group on the 3' carbon of one nucleotide and the phosphate on the 5' of the following nucleotide. The two chains in a double helix run antiparallel to one another.
2, one on each side of the double helix
The DNA nucleotide is a right handed double helix. It is made up of nucleotides that are bound to each other by the phosphodiester bonds.
Individual nucleotide monomers (single units) are linked together to form polymers, or long chains. so yes nucleotides do form polymers

they are made up of nucleotides linked together
The physical structure is called a double-helix.
DNA is made up of many nucleotides. These are a sugar-phosphate backbone and nitrogenous bases. The two strands form a double helix (a spiral) with the nitrogenous bases in the middle, forming H-bonds with each other.
The Double helix is actually made of repeating units called nucleotides
nucleotides!
DNA: - double helix - deoxyribose - Thymine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Adenine RNA: - single strand - ribose - Uracil, Guanine, Cytosine, and Adenine
In a nucleotide the 5-carbon sugar is bonded to the phosphate group, which is bonded to the nitrogenous base. In a chain of nucleotides (a strand of DNA), the nucleotides are connected by covalent bonds between the sugar of one nucleotide, and the phosphate group of the next nucleotide.
nucleotides
Thousands upon thousands. Because DNA must contain all the characteristics of your being, it must be long.
