what are the monomers of dna called
The monomers of DNA are called nucleotides.
Each DNA nucleotide has three main parts.
- A phosphate group
- A deoxyribose sugar (a 5‑carbon sugar)
- A nitrogenous base (adenine, thymine, cytosine, or guanine)
These nucleotides link together in long chains to form the DNA polymer and its famous double helix structure.
