A nucleotide is a biomolecule made up of either DNA or RNA.
The answer is amino acid because an amino acid is the monomer of Protein, not for a nucleotide.

DNA and RNA are nucleotides, which store the genetic information and play a crucial role in cell division and replication.

What are the Components of Nucleotides?

  • Nitrogenous bases are the purines and pyrimidines, which are joined by hydrogen bonds and give the helical structure of the DNA.

  • Sugar or pentose sugar is found in nucleotides, which are connected to the phosphate group and form the backbone of DNA.

  • The amino acid is the monomeric unit of the proteins and is involved in transcription and translation at the molecular level.

Thus, the DNA or nucleotides are made up of base, sugar, and phosphate group.
