GlossaryNucleotides

building blocks of DNA and RNA carrying genetic information

Nucleotides are the building blocks of DNA and RNA, the molecules that carry genetic information in living organisms. Each nucleotide consists of three components: a sugar molecule, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. These components link together to form the long chains that make up our genetic code, which is essential for cell function and heredity.
