The basic units that are put together over and over to build a strand of dna are called as nucleotides.

Step-by-step explanation:

DNA is a heteropolymer that involves many monomers that is the nucleotides that are joined together by phosphodiester bonds in order to develop a complete DNA. The nucleotides consists of nitrogenous bases, phosphate groups and the sugar molecules that are bound together to form a complete nucleotide. The phosphate groups form a backbone through which the nucleotides are joined together.
