\nA polynucleotide chain of DNA is a polymer made up of repeating units called nucleotides. Each DNA nucleotide consists of three components: a nitrogenous base (Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, or Thymine), a deoxyribose sugar (a five-carbon sugar lacking an oxygen atom at the 2′ position), and a phosphate group. These nucleotides are linked together by phosphodiester bonds between the sugar of one nucleotide and the phosphate group of the next.

\nRNA differs from DNA in that it contains ribose sugar instead of deoxyribose sugar and the nitrogenous base Uracil (U) instead of Thymine (T). Both DNA and RNA contain Adenine (A), Guanine (G), and Cytosine (C).
