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).
Making the world better, one answer at a time. DNA and RNA are polymers. Collectively, DNA and RNA are called nucleic acids. The subunits of nucleic acids are called nucleotides. Nucleotide monomers form nucleic acid polymers.A nucleotide has 3 parts to it: a phosphate group, a sugar (ribose in RNA and deoxyribose in DNA), and a base (Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, Thymine or Uracil-Thymine is found only in DNA and Uracil is found only in RNA, but the other 3 bases may be found in either.).NA is built of billions of subunits called nucleotides.  Nucleotides are organic compounds that are made up of a nitrogenous  base, a sugar, and a phosphate group.
