DNA and RNA are polymers composed of nucleotides. Nucleotides are composed of a 5-carbon sugar, a nitrogen base, and a phosphate group covalently bonded together. The 5-carbon sugar in a DNA nucleotide is deoxyribose, and the 5-carbon sugar in RNA is ribose.

What are made up of genes?
Genes are made of DNA (or RNA - not in humans). They are sequences that encode for a functional product (usually a protein). Chromosomes contain genes.
Are fatty acids sub-units of carbohydrates?
No. The sub-units for carbohydrates is a monosaccharide such as glucose or fructose. Fatty acids are what results from the sub-unit aliphatic compounds and glycerol.
DNA is made of repeating units or monomers called?
nucleotides- guanine, adenine, thymine, and cytosine
What are the sub-units or monomers for nucleic acids?
Amino acids
What are the individual units in DNA known as?
nucleic acid
What is a nueclotide?
nucleotides are the sub units that make up DNA
Is DNA made up of three sub units?
Each subunit is called a nucleotide. They have a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate group and a nucleobase
What are the sub units of DNA and what are their functions?
Proteins provide building blocks for the structural components of organisms.
What are the smaller units that DNA are made of?
Molecules. DNA is a big molecule made by smaller molecules. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA
DNA is made of what repeating unit?
DNA is not made up out of 2, but 4 repeating units. These repeating units, nucleotides, being Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, and Cytosine.
Are genes and proteins both made of DNA?
Genes are the units of heredity, and are made up of segments of DNA
DNA is an example of what?
DNA consists of two long polymers of simple units called nucleotides, with backbones made of sugars and phosphate.
What is sub units?
Sugars
What are made up of genes?
Genes are made of DNA (or RNA - not in humans). They are sequences that encode for a functional product (usually a protein). Chromosomes contain genes.
Chromosome are made up of still smaller units called?
A chromosome is made up of DNA, which has subunits called nucleotides.
Are fatty acids sub-units of carbohydrates?
No. The sub-units for carbohydrates is a monosaccharide such as glucose or fructose. Fatty acids are what results from the sub-unit aliphatic compounds and glycerol.
How is DNA organized and what does it contain?
DNA is a very large molecule, made up of smaller units called nucleotides that are strung together in a row. DNA contains sugar, phosphate, and nucleotide
