Contain a sugar, a nitrogenous base, and one or more phosphate groups. Adjacent pairs of nucleotides are joined by phosphodiester bonds. The formation of this bond are results in the loss of a water molecule. 2 hydrogen bonds between a-t, 3 hydrogen bonds between g-c. Similar to dna with exceptions: uracil, not thymine, pairs of adenine, ribose sugar - c2"-oh. Rna can base pair with dna: u base bars with a.
