Every nucleotide consists of three main parts: a nitrogenous base, a five-carbon sugar (ribose in RNA and deoxyribose in DNA), and one or more phosphate groups. The nitrogenous base is responsible for encoding genetic information, while the sugar and phosphate groups form the backbone of the nucleic acid structure. Together, these components link to form the strands of DNA or RNA.
