Nucleic acids, primarily DNA and RNA, are polymers made up of nucleotide monomers. Each nucleotide consists of three components: a phosphate group, a five-carbon sugar (deoxyribose in DNA and ribose in RNA), and a nitrogenous base (adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine in DNA; adenine, uracil, cytosine, guanine in RNA). These components link together to form long chains that encode genetic information essential for the storage, transmission, and expression of genetic traits.
