1) A nitrogenous base (either a purine or pyrimidine),
(2) A pentose, and
(3) Phosphoric acid.
In RNA, the pentose is ribose, whereas in DNA it is 2-deoxyribose. Both DNA and RNA contain the purine nitrogenous bases adenine (abbreviated A) and guanine (G) and the pyrimidine cytosine (C), but in DNA a second pyrimidine is thymine (T), whereas in RNA it is uracil (U).
