Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Nucleotides that make the DNA strands contain deoxyribose sugar, phospate molecule and one nitrogenous base out of adenine, guanine, thymine and cytosine. Uracil is never a part of nucleotide of DNA.
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: -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.
