Nucleotides...

Explanation:

Nucleotides are monomers of both "DNA" and "RNA". However, nucleotides themselves are made up of many other molecules. A nucleotide is made up of a 5-carbon sugar, a nitrogenous base (adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine, or uracil), and a phosphate group (PO_4^(3-)). Note that uracil will only be found in "RNA".

Many nucleotides join together to form "DNA" and "RNA".
