Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Adenine, Thymine, Guanine and Cytosine are what?
A
Phosphates
B
Sugars
C
Nucleotides
D
Bases
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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).

Detailed explanation-2: -These chemical bonds act like rungs in a ladder and help hold the two strands of DNA together. There are four nucleotides, or bases, in DNA: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T).

Detailed explanation-3: -Nucleotide The bases used in DNA are adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and thymine (T). In RNA, the base uracil (U) takes the place of thymine. DNA and RNA molecules are polymers made up of long chains of nucleotides.

Detailed explanation-4: -Adenine and guanine have a fused-ring skeletal structure derived of purine, hence they are called purine bases.

Detailed explanation-5: -The bases can be categorized into two different groups. The single-ring nitrogenous bases, thymine and cytosine, are called pyrimidines, and the double-ring bases, adenine and guanine, are called purines.
