Because a Group Health Plan can be a Covered Entity, and the employer always serves as plan sponsor and frequently as plan administrator of its Group Health Plan, the HIPAA Privacy Rules can, and frequently do, apply to an employer.
Nucleotides are organic molecules that serve as the monomers, or subunits, of nucleic acids like DNA and RNA. The building blocks of nucleic acids, nucleotides are composed of a nitrogenous base, a five-carbon sugar (ribose or deoxyribose), and at least one phosphate group.
A DNA strand is made up of hundreds of thousands of nucleotides put together. A nucleotide is a type of molecule (organic molecule, to be specific) that is made up of a phosphate, a sugar, and a nitrogen base. In all DNA nucleotides, there is always the same phosphate and sugar. But the nitrogen bases differ. There are four nitrogen bases in DNA--Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Thymine.
