Explanation / Answer

Polynucleotide:An organic compound consisting of a nitrogen containing purine or pyrimidine base linked to a sugar (ribose or deoxyribose) and a phosphate group.

DNA and RNA are made up of long chains of polynucleotides.

DNA is a nucleic acid composed of two chains of nucleotides in which the sugar is deoxyribose and the bases are adenine, cytosine, guanine and thymine. The two chains wound round each other and linked together by hydrogen bonds between specific complementary bases to form a spiral ladder-shaped molecue.
