Answer:

The nucleotides are monomers of DNA and DNA is a nucleic acid.

Step-by-step explanation:

The nucleic acids are the macro molecules. They are two types- DNA and RNA. The nucleic acid, DNA consists of nucleotide which are monomers of the DNA. The nucleotides have three components such as pentose sugar, nitrogen bases, and phosphate. They are the backbone of DNA. DNA is the polymer of nucleotide, and this DNA is coming under nucleic acids. The nucleotides form DNA, and DNA forms the nucleic acid. They are interlinked with each other.
