Nucleotides. A nucleotide is the monomer of nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA. Each nucleotide consists of a sugar, a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base. In RNA, the sugar is ribose. In DNA, the sugar is deoxyribose. The nitrogenous bases correspond to the genetic alphabet.
1 Nucleic acids are the carriers of genetic codes in living things. 2  The two principal types of nucleic acids are deoxyribose nucleic acid (or deoxyribonucleic acid, DNA) and ribose nucleic acid (or ribonucleic acid, RNA). 3  DNA is a polymer. 4  Individual monomer units are called nucleotides.
