### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Nucleic Acids**: Nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA, are polymers made up of monomer units called nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. 2. **Structure of Nucleotides**: In a nucleotide, the sugar (ribose in RNA and deoxyribose in DNA) is attached to a phosphate group and a nitrogen base. The phosphate group is connected to the 5' carbon of the sugar. 3. **Formation of Nucleic Acid Strands**: Nucleotides link together to form a single strand of nucleic acid. The linkage occurs between the phosphate group of one nucleotide and the hydroxyl group (-OH) of the sugar of the next nucleotide. ...
