| macromolecules that store and transmit genetic material | nucleic acid |
| the main component in chromosomes that carries genetic material | DNA |
| subunits of nucleic acids that consist of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen base | nucleotide |
| the four nitrogen bases include: adenine, guanine, thymine and | cytosine |
