Since 1933, Navy Federal Credit Union has grown from seven members to over 7 million members. And, since that time, our vision statement has remained focused on serving our unique field of membership: âBe the most preferred and trusted financial institution serving the military and their families.â
Like DNA, RNA polymers are make up of chains of nucleotides. These nucleotides have three parts: 1) a five carbon ribose sugar, 2) a phosphate molecule and 3) one of four nitrogenous bases: adenine, guanine, cytosine or uracil. RNA nucleotides form polymers of alternating ribose and phosphate units linked by a phosphodiester bridge between the #3 and #5 carbons of neighboring ribose molecules. RNA nucleotides differ from DNA nucleotides by the presence of a hydroxyl group linked to the #2 carbon of the sugar.
Confidence votes 206. Nucleotides Nucleotides are the monomers, building blocks, of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA). Each nucleotide includes three components: a phosphate, a sugar, and a nitrogenous base. The phosphate is bonded to the sugar through phosphodiester bonds and makes up the backbone of the molecule.he phosphate is the same in DNA and RNA, but the sugar can be a ribose (for RNA) or a deoxyribose (for DNA). The latter is a ribose without  de-  one oxygen  -oxy- . There are four available nitrogenous bases in a DNA's nucleotides: adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine.
