Answer:
A single nucleotide is made up of three components: a nitrogen-containing base, a five-carbon sugar, and a phosphate group. The nitrogenous base is either a purine or a pyrimidine. The five-carbon sugar is either a ribose (in RNA) or a deoxyribose (in DNA) molecule.
Explanation:
A nucleotide consists of three things:
A nitrogenous base, which can be either adenine, guanine, cytosine, or thymine (in the case of RNA, thymine is replaced by uracil).
A five-carbon sugar, called deoxyribose because it is lacking an oxygen group on one of its carbons.
One or more phosphate groups.
