DNA: Deoxyribonucleic Acid is the genetic material found in almost all living organisms. RNA: Ribonucleic Acid is a molecule that helps create proteins in the body. Nucleotides: Nucleotides are the building blocks of DNA and RNA; each one contains one sugar, one phosphate, and one nitrogenous base.
