The sugar that occurs in nucleotides tends to be a 5 carbon sugar called ribose or deoxyribose and tends to be represented by a pentagon of 5 carbons joined to oxygen and OH to form part of the helix forming nucleic acids. The nucleotides are what constitutes the DNA and RNA which control genetic characteristics.

Lets take 100 g of this compound,
so it is going to be 2.00 g H, 32.7 g S and 65.3 g O.

2.00 g H *1 mol H/1.01 g H ≈ 1.98 mol H
32.7 g S *1 mol S/ 32.1 g S ≈ 1.02 mol S
65.3 g O * 1 mol O/16.0 g O ≈ 4.08 mol O

1.98 mol H : 1.02 mol S : 4.08 mol O = 2 mol H : 1 mol S : 4 mol O
