Solution

Nucleotide:
The nucleotide is the fundamental structural unit of the DNA molecule.
The nucleotide is made up of three components - a nitrogen base, a sugar molecule, and a phosphate radical.
There are four types of nitrogen bases in the DNA - adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine.
Hence, the nucleotide is the repeating component of each DNA strand lengthwise.
