Nucleotides
nucleotide
They are considered polymers. The monomers of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) are nucleotides. Each nucleotide has a phosphate, a sugar and a nitrogenous base.
nucleotides
DNA has coded instructions for making proteins, and RNA translates the code.
The monomers in a nuclei acid is basic component. This is in DNA and RNA.
Nucleic acids are polymers made up of nucleotide monomers. DNA and RNA are examples of nucleic acids, with DNA being a double-stranded polymer and RNA being a single-stranded polymer. The nucleotide monomers consist of a phosphate group, a sugar (deoxyribose in DNA and ribose in RNA), and a nitrogenous base (adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine in DNA, and uracil in RNA).
In DNA, the monomers are nucleotides which consist of a phosphate group, a deoxyribose sugar, and one of the four nitrogenous bases: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), or thymine (T). In RNA, the monomers are also nucleotides but with ribose sugar and the base uracil (U) instead of thymine.
DNA and RNA differ in several ways, including their sugar components (deoxyribose in DNA and ribose in RNA), the presence of thymine in DNA versus uracil in RNA, and their typical structures (double-stranded for DNA and single-stranded for RNA). However, both DNA and RNA are nucleic acids composed of nucleotide monomers. Thus, the similarity in their fundamental composition is the one aspect they do not differ in.
If we put a comma in that sentence after DNA, the answer is yes, nucleotides are indeed the monomers of DNA. As written, the question makes no sense, since "DNA nucleotides" are not polymers and therefore do not have monomers.
DNA: adenine-thymine, guanine-cytosine RNA: adenine-uracil, guanine-cytosine
