Nucleic acids are made up of nucleotides. Each nucleotide is composed of a sugar + a phosphate + a nitrogen base. The nitrogenous bases are Adenine which pairs with Thymine and Cytosine which pairs with Guanine.Nucleotide polymers, (chains of nucleotides) are made up of nucleotides linked to the-OH group on the 3' carbon of one nucleotide and the phosphate on the 5' of the following nucleotide.The two chains in a double helix run antiparallel to one another. 8 people found this useful. Answered. nucleotide is a monomer of a nucleic acid consisting of 3 parts.  These 3 parts include a pentose sugar, a phosphate  group, and a nitrogenous base. The nitrogenous bases â¦  include purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (cytosine and  thymine).
Confidence votes 7.7K. Nucleotides. Both DNA and RNA are nucleic acids, and are polymers of nucleotides. A nucleotide has three components: a pentose (five-carbon sugar), and attached to different parts of it a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base (either a purine or a pyrimidine).NA and RNA are polymers consisting of monomres called nucleotides, which are composed of a sugar (deoxyribose for DNA and ribose for RNA), a phosphate group, and a nitrogeno â¦ us base (Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine for DNA, and Adenine, Uracil, Cytosine and Guanine for RNA).
