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.
Nucleotides are the subunit that is polymerized (connected into a long chain) to make nucleic acids (DNA and RNA). Nucleotides consist of three smaller components: a ribose sugar, a nitrogenous base, and phosphate group(s). Generic nucleotide structure. The connection that forms between nucleotides is between the sugar of the first nucleotide and the phosphate group of the second. 2  Each connection between nucleotides is a covalent bond, so the nucleic acids have a covalently attached sugar-phosphate backbone.
