Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Recall that DNA is composed of four nitrogenous bases, which are the fundamental units of the genetic code.
Identify the two purines in DNA: adenine (A) and guanine (G), which have a double-ring structure.
Identify the two pyrimidines in DNA: cytosine (C) and thymine (T), which have a single-ring structure.
Note that uracil (U) is found in RNA, not DNA, and ribose is a sugar, not a nucleotide base.
Therefore, the correct set of nucleotides in DNA is adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine.
