RossNucleotides are the building blocks of nucleic acids. Nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA, are polymers formed by linking nucleotides together. Each nucleotide consists of a sugar molecule, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base, which determine the genetic information conveyed by the nucleic acid.

A nucleic acids is a?
Nucleic acids are polymers of nucleotides.
Are nucleic acids and nucleotides the same thing?
No, nucleic acids are biopolymers made up of nucleotides linked together in a chain. Nucleotides are the building blocks of nucleic acids, consisting of a phosphate group, a sugar molecule, and a nitrogenous base.
What are monomers of nucleic acids?
Nucleotides
Which nucleotides build proteins?
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, not nucleotides. Nucleotides are the building blocks of nucleic acids like DNA and RNA.
What is relationship between amino acids and nucleotides?
Nucleotides serve as the building blocks for the construction of nucleic acid. Each nucleotide consists of three parts, a sugar, a phosphate, and one of the nitrogenous lases.
