Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -In DNA, Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Thymine are observed. Whereas in RNA, Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Uracil are observed. In RNA, Thymine is replaced by Uracil. Hence, Adenine, Guanine, and Cytosine are common to both DNA and RNA.
Detailed explanation-2: -A nucleotide consists of a sugar molecule (either ribose in RNA or deoxyribose in DNA) attached to a phosphate group and a nitrogen-containing base. 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.
Detailed explanation-3: -RNA consists of four nitrogenous bases: adenine, cytosine, uracil, and guanine.
