Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is made up of sugar, a nitrogenous base and a phosphate group (Figure 1.2). The combination of these molecules makes the building blocks for the DNA synthesis.
Detailed explanation-3: -There are four nucleotides, or bases, in DNA: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T).
