A nucleotide consists of three main parts: 1. a sugar, (ribose for RNA nucleotides and deoxyribose for DNA nucleotides), 2. a phosphate, and 3. a nitrogenous base. For DNA they are adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine for DNA. For RNA the bases are the same except uricil replaces thymine.

What are the subnits of DNA?
The subunits of DNA are known as nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of a sugar (deoxyribose), a phosphate and a nitrogenous base.
