Answer:
A deoxyribonucleotide is the monomer, or single unit, of DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid. Each deoxyribonucleotide comprises three parts: a nitrogenous base, a deoxyribose sugar, and one phosphate group.[1] The nitrogenous base is always bonded to the 1' carbon of the deoxyribose, which is distinguished from ribose by the presence of a proton on the 2' carbon rather than an -OH group. The phosphate groups bind to the 5' carbon of the sugar.
When deoxyribonucleotides polymerize to form DNA, the phosphate group from one nucleotide will bond to the 3' carbon on another nucleotide, forming a phosphodiester bond via dehydration synthesis. New nucleotides are always added to the 3' carbon of the last nucleotide, so synthesis always proceeds from 5' to 3'.

here's ur answer:
∞DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic Acid.
∞DNA is a double helix nucleic acid that carries the genetic information. It is the carrier of genetic information and is present as the main constituent of chromosomes in almost all living organisms.
∞It is found in the nucleus of cell.
∞It can also be found in other cell structures known as mitochondria.
