Structure of DNA Deoxyribonucleic Acid DNA is one of the two nucleic acids –DNA –RNA It is composed of repeating subunits (monomers) called NUCLEOTIDES. A nucleotide has three components –– deoxyribose (sugar) –A phosphate –A nitrogenous base

Nitrogenous Bases Adenine (A) Guanine (G) Cytosine (C) Thymine (T)

The Double Helix A always pairs with T C always pairs with G
