what are the monomers (building blocks) of dna?
amino acids
nucleotides
monosaccharides
fatty acids
DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is a molecule that contains the genetic instructions for the development, functioning, growth, and reproduction of all known living organisms. Its primary role is to store genetic information. This information is encoded in the sequence of nucleotides (adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine) that make up the DNA molecule.
For the second question, DNA is a polymer made up of monomers called nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of a sugar (deoxyribose), a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. Amino acids are the monomers of proteins, monosaccharides are the monomers of carbohydrates, and fatty acids are components of lipids (along with glycerol in the case of triglycerides).
