Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
How many nucleotides make up DNA?
A
2
B
4
C
6
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -There are four nucleotides, or bases, in DNA: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T). These bases form specific pairs (A with T, and G with C).

Detailed explanation-2: -DNA is made up of four building blocks called nucleotides: adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C). The nucleotides attach to each other (A with T, and G with C) to form chemical bonds called base pairs, which connect the two DNA strands.

Detailed explanation-3: -Because there are four naturally occurring nitrogenous bases, there are four different types of DNA nucleotides: adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C).

Detailed explanation-4: -Yet in recent history, scientists have expanded that list from four to six. Now, researchers have discovered the seventh and eighth bases of DNA. For decades, scientists have known that DNA consists of four basic units–adenine, guanine, thymine and cytosine.

Detailed explanation-5: -DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms.
