Nucleotides are made up of three basic components: a 5-carbon sugar called deoxyribose in DNA or Ribose in RNA , a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous (nitrogen-containing) base Purine ( Adenine , Guanine ) or Pyrimidine ( Cytosine , thymine , Uracil .)

Why DNA pol needs 3'OH to attach new nucleotide?

DNA polymerase requires a 3'OH group to attach a new nucleotide because it catalyzes the formation of a phosphodiester bond between the incoming nucleotide and the existing DNA chain. The 3'OH group provides the necessary chemical linkage for the new nucleotide to join the DNA chain during replication.
