Answer:
Nucleic acids, which include DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid), are made from monomers known as nucleotides. Each nucleotide has three components: a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. If the sugar is deoxyribose, the polymer is DNA.

The main components of nucleic acid are nucleotides.
- Nucleic acid is the chemical compound present inside a nucleus that carries the genetic material of that cell. So, these are the main information-carrying molecules of the cell that determine the inheritance of the characteristics in the cell.
- Nucleic acid can be described as polynucleotides, which basically means they are long chains of identical building blocks called nucleotides.
- Nucleic acids can be categorized widely into two classes- DNA and RNA. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) consists of blueprints of all life in all organisms as they constitute their genetic material. RNA (ribonucleic acid) on the other hand plays other important roles such as making protein.
