Answer:

Nucleotides.

Step-by-step explanation:

Nucleotides are the subunits of DNA. The four nucleotides are adenine, cytosine, guanine and thymine. Each of the four bases has three components, a phosphate group, a deoxyribose sugar and a nitrogen-containing base.

*Remember*

  • C and G will always pair together (Cytosine and Guanine)
  • A and T will always pair together (Adenine and Thymine)

Very glad I could help today!!
