Nucleotide is a monomer (repeating small unit) of DNA, RNA. It also constitutes ATPs, GTPs, ADPs and so on. Nucleotde consists of a sugar pentose, nitrogen base and and phosphate group. Sugar can be either ribose or deoxyribose (note that deoxyribose is sugar, but not a carbohydrate). Nitrogen base can be either derivative of pyrimidine - a heterocycle ring - which are Thymine, Cytosine and uracile; or purine rings - two heterocycle rings joined together - which are guanine and adenine. Nitrogenous bases are attached to 1'-carbon atom in the sugar. Phospate group is attached to the 5' carbon via phosphoester bond. That's all, mi amigo. Qosh bol

What is a subunit of a nucleic acid?
The subunit of a nucleic acid are nucleotides.
DNA is made of repeating units or monomers called?
nucleotides- guanine, adenine, thymine, and cytosine
The sequence of what carries genetic information as an organism?
nucleotides
What is found in chromosomes that determine specific characteristics of an organism?
Chromosomes are strands of DNA. The DNA is made of a sequence of nucleotides. The nucleic acids are Adenine, Tyrosine, Cytosine and Guanine. The order of these controls protein production. Three nucleotides indicate the production of a specific nucleic acid. A string of nucleic acids is known as a protein. Our bodies are made out of protiens. Therefore, the chromosomes are translated into proteins, which exhibit characteristics.
Monomers that make up nucleic acids are known as?
nucleotides are the monomers DNA has nitrogenous bases adenine(A), thymine(T), cytosine(C), and guanine(G) RNA has nitrogenous bases A, G, and C but instead of T has uracil(U)
What is the building blocks of cells control your specific characteristics?
nucleotides
Why does not the substitution of nucleotides in the mouse change its phenotype or physical characteristics?
The substituted nucleotide has the same directions as the original nucleotide.
Why doesn't the substitution of nucleotides in the mouse change its physical characteristics?
The substituted nucleotide has the same directions as the original nucleotide.
What is a subunit of a nucleic acid?
The subunit of a nucleic acid are nucleotides.
How many strands of nucleotides are in DNA?
Thousands upon thousands. Because DNA must contain all the characteristics of your being, it must be long.
DNA is made of repeating units or monomers called?
nucleotides- guanine, adenine, thymine, and cytosine
What is the name of the nucleotides have no DNA and no RNA?
Nucleotides do not have DNA or RNA. DNA and RNA are composed of nucleotides.
What is the monomer for the DNA polymer called?
nucleotides
What is a genetic characteristic of the individual?
The genetic traits, both physical and behavioral, that the individual possesses on his personal genome.
The sequence of what carries genetic information as an organism?
nucleotides
What are the monomers of DNA made of?
its made up of nucleotides
Nucleic acid are composed of units called?
nucleotides.
