Nucleotides: The Fundamental Building Blocks Of Genetic Information
Nucleotides are the building blocks of nucleic acids and consist of three parts: a deoxyribose sugar, a nitrogenous base, and a phosphate group. The sugar and base form a nucleoside, to which the phosphate group is attached. The sequence of nucleotides along a nucleic acid molecule determines its genetic information.
