Science / Genetics / Nucleotide: A subunit of dna or rna consisting of a nitrogenous base (adenine, guanine, thymine, or cytosine in dna: adenine, guanine, uracil, or cytosine in rna), a phosphate molecule, and a sugar molecule (deoxyribose in dna and ribose in rna). Thousands of nucleotides are linked to form a dna or rna molecule. See dna, base pair, rna.
