Best Answer

The three components that make up the nucleotides of RNA are the nucleobases, the ribose sugars, and the phosphate backbone. The nucleobases are what give RNA its variability, denoted by the letters A, C, G and U. They form the "alphabet" that gets translated into the different amino acids that make up proteins. The ribose sugars and the phosphate together form the linkages in the chain of nucleotides holding the nucleobases together.
