Nucleotides
Nucleotides are the building blocks of nucleic acids, which are essential components of living cells. They are composed of three parts: a nitrogenous base, a five-carbon sugar, and a phosphate group. Nucleotides carry genetic information and help to replicate and regulate gene expression in organisms. They also play a role in ensuring the accurate transmission and maintenance of genetic information. Nucleotides are used in DNA and RNA sequencing, drug design, the development of genetic and genomic tests, biotechnological applications, and cancer therapeutics.

DNA, is like a blueprint of biological guidelines that a living organism must follow to exist and remain functional. RNA, helps carry out this blueprint's guidelines. RNA is more versatile than DNA, capable of performing numerous, diverse tasks in an organism, however DNA is more stable and holds more complex information for longer periods of time.
