The nucleotide.
Explanation:
Deoxyribonucleic acid, as every nucleic acid (polymer), is composed of basic functional units called nucleotides (monomers).
These organic molecules are yielded by:
- phosphate group
- nitrogenous base
- ribose, which is a pentose (monosaccharide)
Be careful not to confuse "nucleotide" with its component NUCLEOSIDE which is the nitrogenous base plus the ribose.
