what is the main difference between the 4 nucleotides that make up dna?
335766
The only other difference in the nucleotides of DNA and RNA is that one of the four organic bases differs between the two polymers. The bases adenine, guanine, and cytosine are found in both DNA and RNA; thymine is found only in DNA, and uracil is found only in RNA.

There are two primary differences between the two molecules in these terms: ... In terms of the nitrogen bases, which are interchangeable, the DNA molecules use cytosine, guanine, thymine, and adenine (CGTA), whereas RNA uses uracil instead of thymine (CGUA).

Each nucleotide is composed of a nitrogenous base, a five-carbon sugar (deoxyribose), and a phosphate group. There are four nitrogenous bases in DNA, two purines (adenine and guanine) and two pyrimidines (cytosine and thymine).

DNA has Thymine, where as RNA has Uracil. RNA nucleotides include sugar ribose, rather than the Deoxyribose that is part of DNA. Functionally, DNA maintains the protein-encoding information, whereas RNA uses the information to enable the cell to synthesize the particular protein.

Nucleotides contain three parts in their structure; one phosphate, nitrogen containing base (purines and pyrimidines) and a 5-carbon sugar. DNA contains deoxyribose sugar, phosphate group and nitrogen base in its structure, whereas RNA contains ribose sugar in place of deoxyribose sugar.

The two main types of nucleic acids are DNA and RNA. Both DNA and RNA are made from nucleotides, each containing a five-carbon sugar backbone, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen base. DNA provides the code for the cell's activities, while RNA converts that code into proteins to carry out cellular functions.

Nucleotides Vs Nucleosides. “A building block of DNA or RNA- nucleotide is made up of the sugar, nitrogenous bases, and phosphate while the nucleoside is made up of sugar and base only.”

The DNA and RNA Structures Nucleotides simply refer to nitrogenous bases, pentose sugar together with the phosphate backbone. Both DNA and RNA have four nitrogenous bases each—three of which they share (Cytosine, Adenine, and Guanine) and one that differs between the two (RNA has Uracil while DNA has Thymine).

DNA is a long polymer with deoxyriboses and phosphate backbone. Having four different nitrogenous bases: adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine. RNA is a polymer with a ribose and phosphate backbone.

The four bases-ATCG. Adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine are the four nucleotides found in DNA.

There are four nitrogenous bases in DNA, two purines (adenine and guanine) and two pyrimidines (cytosine and thymine). A DNA molecule is composed of two strands.

What is DNA made of? DNA is made of chemical building blocks called nucleotides. These building blocks are made of three parts: a phosphate group, a sugar group and one of four types of nitrogen bases. To form a strand of DNA, nucleotides are linked into chains, with the phosphate and sugar groups alternating.

Explain the difference between a nucleotide and a "base." - Base implies one of the nitrogenous bases( adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine). - One nucleotide is composed of a base, a deoxyribose sugar, and a phosphate. - There are four types of nucleotides because there are four types of bases.

Nucleoside vs. Nucleotide. A nucleoside consists of a nitrogenous base covalently attached to a sugar (ribose or deoxyribose) but without the phosphate group. A nucleotide consists of a nitrogenous base, a sugar (ribose or deoxyribose) and one to three phosphate groups.

Both contain a pentose sugar (a sugar containing 5 carbon atoms), and a nitrogenous base. A DNA nucleotide contains the sugar deoxyribose, whereas an ATP molecule contains the sugar ribose. As for the nitrogenous base, ATP can only contain the base adenine, whereas a DNA nucleotide can have 4 different bases.

DNA has four nitrogen bases adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine and for RNA instead of thymine, it has uracil. Also, DNA is double-stranded and RNA is single-stranded which is why RNA can leave the nucleus and DNA can't. Another thing is that DNA is missing an oxygen.
