How many bases are there?
A
3
B
6
C
1
D
100
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -There are four nucleotides, or bases, in DNA: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T). These bases form specific pairs (A with T, and G with C).

Detailed explanation-2: -Triplets are giving the perfect clue that there are 3 nitrogenous bases in each codon which codes for an amino acid.

Detailed explanation-3: -Attached to each sugar is one of four bases: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) [GWA-NeeN] or thymine (T). The two strands are held together by hydrogen bonds between pairs of bases: adenine pairs with thymine, and cytosine pairs with guanine.

Detailed explanation-4: -The codon needs to be at least three bases in length. The reason for this is that there are 20 different amino acids that are used in living things, so there needs to be at least 20 different codon combinations.

Detailed explanation-5: -Yet in recent history, scientists have expanded that list from four to six. Now, researchers have discovered the seventh and eighth bases of DNA. For decades, scientists have known that DNA consists of four basic units–adenine, guanine, thymine and cytosine.
