A nitrogenous base, a phosphate group and a pentose sugar.

A nucleotide consists of three things:

A nitrogenous base, which can be either adenine, guanine, cytosine, or thymine (in the case of RNA, thymine is replaced by uracil).
A five-carbon sugar, called deoxyribose because it is lacking an oxygen group on one of its carbons.
