dna and rna are nucleic acids. like other polymers, nucleic acids are made up of repeating units called monomers.
what are the monomers, or building blocks, of nucleic acids?
○ amino acids
○ monosaccharides
○ fatty acids
○ nucleotides

Explanation:

Nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) are polymers composed of repeating monomer units called nucleotides. Amino acids are monomers of proteins, monosaccharides are monomers of carbohydrates, and fatty acids are components of lipids, not nucleic acids. Thus, the correct monomer for nucleic acids is nucleotides.

Answer:

nucleotides
