A building block molecule made of a deoxyribose sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base that links together to form DNA.
From deoxy- + ribonucleotide (a nucleotide containing ribose). Nucleotides are named from nucleus + -ide (chemical compound suffix).
Your DNA is made of only four different deoxyribonucleotides (A, T, G, and C), but billions of them strung together in different orders—it's like a language with just four letters that somehow codes all the complexity of life!
