What are the building blocks of nucleic acids?
monomers. Nucleic acids are biopolymers made up of monomers called nucleotides.
Each nucleotide monomer consists of : 1) a 5 carbon sugar 2) a nitrogenous base 3) a phosphate group
If the sugar is deoxy ribose then the polymer formed is DNA, and if the sugar is ribose then the polymer is called RNA.
Nucleic acids in DNA are - Adenine , Thymine , Guanine and Cytosine. Nucleic acids in RNA are - Adenine, Uracil , Guanine and Cytosine .
Long chains of nucleotides strung together in a specific sequence are the mechanism for storing and transmitting hereditary and genetic information via protein synthesis.
