Nucleic acids are the polymers of :
1. Nucleosides
2. Nucleotides
3. Bases
4. Sugars
HINT: Nucleic acids are made up of nucleotides.
Explanation :
Nucleic acids are polymer of nucleotides in which nucleic acids are linked together by a phosphodiester linkage. The reaction is as follows:
e.g., DNA, RNA, etc.
A nucleic acid is a polymeric macromolecule made up of repeated units of monomeric 'nucleotides' composed of a nitrogenous heterocyclic base
which is either a purine or a pyrimidine, a pentose (five carbon) sugar (either ribose or 2′-deoxyribose) and one to three phosphate groups.
