Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA, are composed of nucleotides, which include a nitrogen-containing organic base (such as adenine, guanine, cytosine, or thymine in DNA; uracil replaces thymine in RNA) and a pentose sugar (deoxyribose in DNA and ribose in RNA). There is no carbonate linkage in nucleic acids.
