The monomers of DNA are called nucleotides, and the polymer is a polynucleotide.

There are four different nucleotides in DNA called A, T, G, and C for the nitrogenous base sidegroup (adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine respectively) attached to the sugar-phosphate backbone (deoxyribose-phosphate) of a nucleotide. These nucleotides can be joined in any order, permitting the "spelling" of an unlimited number of different genetic "words".
