Molecular Biology
A nucleotide is the basic building block of nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA, composed of three components: a nitrogenous base, a five-carbon sugar, and a phosphate group. Nucleotides link together through phosphodiester bonds to form the backbone of DNA and RNA strands, playing a critical role in storing and transmitting genetic information.
