DNA is made up of monomers called:

• Amino Acid
• Monosaccharide
• Fatty Acid
• Nucleotide

Each monomer of DNA is composed of what three parts?

• Phosphate, Deoxyribose, and a Nitrogenous Base
• Phosphate, Ribose, and a Nitrogenous Base

• Phosphate, Protein, and an Amino Acid

What is the long name for RNA

• Ribonucleic acid

DNA is called the "blueprint of life" because:

• it is like a fingerprint
• it has a blue color
• it contains the plans for building an organism
• it can relay messages to other molecules
