How many different kinds of monomers are there in nucleic acids?

Answer 1

The monomers of nucleic acids are called nucleotides. There are only two types of nucleic acid: RNA and DNA. Both nucleotides contain a ribose sugar, a phosphate, and a nitrogenous base.

Answer 2

Well, nucleic acids are polymers, which are very large molecules that consist of much smaller units repeated over and over again. The small units are called monomers. The monomers are nucleotides. So, there really is no exact number.

Answer 3

There are four different kinds of monomers in nucleic acids, known as nucleotides. These monomers are adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T) in DNA or uracil (U) in RNA.
