Chapter 4.1, Problem 1MQ
Summary Introduction

Nucleotides are building blocks of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or ribonucleic acid (RNA). The nucleotide is composed of a nitrogenous base, sugar, and a phosphate group. DNA is a genetic material, which consists of a long stretch of nucleotide sequences. In both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, DNA carries genetic information from mother to offspring in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
