The two DNA strands are called polynucleotidesbecause they are composed of simpler monomer units called nucleotides. Eachnucleotideis composed of one of four nitrogen-containingnucleobases (cytosine, guanine, adenine or thymine), a sugar called deoxyribose, and a phosphate group.
Generally viruses that infect plants have single stranded RNA. Viruses infecting animals have double stranded RNA or DNA. Viruses which infect bacteria have double stranded DNA.
