No

Step-by-step explanation:

In the nucleotide of DNA and RNA only Phosphate that is similar to both nucleic acid, They have different sugar portion and Nitrogenous base.

DNA nucleotide include

- Phosphate

- deoxyribose sugar

- NB Adenine, Thymine, Guanine and Cytosine

RNA nucleotide include

- Phosphate

- Ribose sugar

- NB Adenine, Uracil, Guanine and Cytosine

Therefore They do not use the same types of nucleotides because DNA has 2 strand that are joined together by weak hygrogen bond and it is long. while RNA has 1 strand and it is a short thus not coiled or helical.
