A nucleotide is composed of three key components: a nitrogenous base, a five-carbon sugar (deoxyribose in DNA and ribose in RNA), and one or more phosphate groups. The nitrogenous base can be either a purine (adenine or guanine) or a pyrimidine (cytosine, thymine, or uracil). These components combine to form the building blocks of nucleic acids, which are essential for storing and transmitting genetic information.
