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.

(DS9: "The Alternate") The Vidiian chief surgeon Sulan believed that B'Elanna Torres Klingon genetic structure had phage-resistant nucletide sequences. (VOY: "Faces")
- A nucleotide is a molecule consisting of a nitrogen-containing base (adenine, guanine, thymine, or cytosine in DNA; adenine, guanine, uracil, or cytosine in RNA), a phosphate group, and a sugar (deoxyribose in DNA; ribose in RNA). DNA and RNA are polymers comprised of many nucleotides, strung together like beads in a necklace.
- The base units of nucleic acids, each containing a sugar, a phosphate group.
