what is a nitrogen base
A
ribose
B
adenine
C
phosphate
D
atp
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Adenine is a nitrogenous base represented by the symbol A in DNA and RNA. It is a purine base and contains two nitrogenous rings fused together. The chemical formula for adenine is C5H5N5. Adenine attaches to the sugar molecule in nucleotides through the 1’ carbon on either ribose or deoxyribose.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nitrogenous base: A molecule that contains nitrogen and has the chemical properties of a base. The nitrogenous bases in DNA are adenine (A), guanine (G), thymine (T), and cytosine (C). The nitrogenous bases in RNA are the same, with one exception: adenine (A), guanine (G), uracil (U), and cytosine (C).

Detailed explanation-3: -There are a total of five bases found in the DNA and RNA world, namely – Adenine (A), Cytosine (C), Guanine (G), Thymine (T) and Uracil (U). Let us look at the five nucleotides found in DNA and RNA.

Detailed explanation-4: -Adenine and guanine are purine bases. These are structures composed of a 5-sided and 6-sided ring. Cytosine and thymine are pyrimidines which are structures composed of a single six-sided ring.

Detailed explanation-5: -(bays payr) Two nitrogen-containing bases (or nucleotides) that pair together to form the structure of DNA. The four bases in DNA are adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T). These bases form specific pairs (A with T, and G with C).
