A nucleotide is the basic subunit of DNA and RNA. There are only 5 distinct nucleotides typically appearing in both molecules, making for unique sequences in a polymer formed by phosphodiester bonds between successive nucleotides. This sequence endows DNA and RNA with the capability of encoding the information essential for life as we know it.
