Break Down the Problem

1. Identify the type of macromolecules: DNA and RNA.
2. Determine the building blocks (monomers) of these macromolecules.

Relevant Concepts

1. Macromolecules are large polymers composed of smaller monomer units.
2. DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) and RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) are types of nucleic acids.
3. The monomer unit of nucleic acids is called a nucleotide.

Analysis and Detail

1. Nucleotides consist of three components:
   • A phosphate group
   • A sugar (deoxyribose in DNA and ribose in RNA)
   • A nitrogenous base (adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine for DNA and adenine, uracil, cytosine, guanine for RNA)

Verify and Summarize

Nucleotides are definitively the building blocks of both DNA and RNA, confirming that the correct answer to the question is "nucleotides."

Final Answer

DNA and RNA are polymers of nucleotides.
