Answer 1

Explanation:

1) ans - Nucleic acids are the biopolymers, or large biomolecules, essential to all known forms of life. The term nucleic acid is the overall name for DNA and RNA. They are composed of nucleotides, which are the monomers made of three components: a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base

2) ans - DNA and RNA are made up of monomers known as nucleotides. The nucleotides combine with each other to form a polynucleotide, DNA or RNA. Each nucleotide is made up of three components: a nitrogenous base, a pentose (five-carbon) sugar, and a phosphate group

Answer 2

Explanation:

A nucleotide is made up of three components: a nitrogenous base, a pentose sugar, and a phosphate group. The two main types of nucleic acids are deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA).
