Nucleotides...

Explanation:

Nucleotides are monomers of both $DNA$ $"DNA"$ and $RNA$ $"RNA"$ . However, nucleotides themselves are made up of many other molecules. A nucleotide is made up of a $5$ $5$ -carbon sugar, a nitrogenous base (adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine, or uracil), and a phosphate group $(P O_{4}^{3 -})$ $(PO_4^(3-))$ . Note that uracil will only be found in $RNA$ $"RNA"$ .

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