Monomer of Nucleic Acids is molecules find in DNA known as nucleotides. Monomer of nucleic acid is called as nucleotides.
When nucleotides joint to gather and make a polymer. The polynucleotide chain is known as the nucleic acid. Nucleotides are complex, which contain nitrogenous, sugar-phosphate backbone.
Monomers of nucleic acid (nucleotides) have 03 components:
Nitrogenous Base
Five-Carbon (Pentose) Sugar
Phosphate Group
Nitrogenous Base:
The nitrogen base available in RNA is Adenine, guanine, cytosine, and Uracil while in DNA Adenine, guanine, cytosine, and Thiamine only Uracil are replace by thiamine in the nucleic acid.
Five-Carbon (Pentose) Sugar:
DNA composed the deoxyribose sugar and RNA compose the Ribose sugar.
Phosphate Group:
Phosphate group link with the other and form the bond in the nucleotide.
