Answer:

Nucleotides that store information

Step-by-step explanation:

Deoxyribonucleic acid, commonly known as DNA, is one of the two nucleic acid biomolecules found in living systems. DNA is a polymer made up of long chains of monomeric units called NUCLEOTIDES. Nucleotides consists of three major subunits or parts namely: phosphate group, nitrogenous base (A,T, G, C) and a five-carbon sugar (deoxyribose).

Nucleotides are responsible for the functional and structural characteristics of DNA, which is to store GENETIC INFORMATION in living cells.
