The answer is the second one: DNA is made from nucleotides.

Explanation:

  • Nucleotides are the basic building blocks of DNA. Each nucleotide consists of a sugar molecule (deoxyribose in the case of DNA), a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base (adenine, thymine, cytosine, or guanine).
  • DNA is a long polymer made up of repeating units of nucleotides. The sequence of these nucleotides encodes genetic information.
  • Therefore, the correct relationship is that DNA is made from nucleotides, not the other way around.
