Question

1. nucleotides are the monomers (building blocks) of nucleic acids. what are the three parts of a nucleotide?

Explanation:

Nucleotides, the basic units of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), consist of three core components: a phosphate group (provides negative charge), a 5-carbon pentose sugar (deoxyribose in DNA, ribose in RNA), and a nitrogen-containing base (varied to encode genetic information).

Answer:

A phosphate group, a pentose sugar (deoxyribose or ribose), and a nitrogenous base (adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine, or uracil).
