Detailed explanation-1: -Nitrogenous bases present in the DNA can be grouped into two categories: purines (Adenine (A) and Guanine (G)), and pyrimidine (Cytosine (C) and Thymine (T)). These nitrogenous bases are attached to C1’ of deoxyribose through a glycosidic bond. Deoxyribose attached to a nitrogenous base is called a nucleoside.
