What are polymers of nucleotides called?

The polymers of nucleotides that make up the nucleic acids—DNA and RNA—are covalently bonded between the pentose 3' carbon atom and the phosphate group that is attached to the pentose 5' carbon.

*DNA is an acronym for deoxyribonucleic acid, a self-replicating material that is the primary component of chromosomes in nearly all living organisms and is the carrier of genetic information. the essential and distinguishing features or attributes of an entity, particularly when thought to be immutable.

*RNA, or ribonucleic acid, is a type of nucleic acid that is found in all living cells. Its main function is to function as a messenger that carries instructions from DNA to control the synthesis of proteins, though in certain viruses, the genetic information is carried by RNA rather than DNA.

Polymers of nucleotides are called nucleic acids.
