Answer :

A nucleotide is the fundamental component of nucleic acids (RNA and DNA). A nucleotide is made up of a sugar molecule (ribose in RNA or deoxyribose in DNA) linked to a phosphate group and a nitrogen-containing base. Adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine are the bases used in DNA (T).

Nucleotides are the fundamental building blocks of DNA and RNA. They are genetically encoded. Nucleotides function as coenzymes, that are needed for enzymes to catalyze many biochemical reactions. Our bodies store energy as ATP.
