Is deoxyribose and uracil found in a DNA nucleotide?
No. Deoxyribose is the sugar in a DNA nucleotide. A DNA nucleotide would also include a phosphate group and a nitrogen base.
How can you distinguish a DNA nucleotide from an RNA nucleotide?
The key difference between a DNA nucleotide and an RNA nucleotide is their five-carbon sugar molecules. One component of RNA is the five-carbon sugar ribose, C5H10O5. Alternatively, in DNA, the five-carbon sugar deoxyribose (C5H10O4) has one fewer oxygen atom. Another difference is in the nitrogenous bases of some DNA and RNA nucleotides. The nitrogenous base uracil (U) is unique to RNA nucleotides. Similarly, the nitrogenous base thymine (T) is unique to DNA nucleotides.
When is uracil used in DNA?
No, it is not found in DNA, thought it is found in RNA.
What are the parts of a DNA nucleotides?
Nitrogenous base, phosphate group, and RNA.
Are DNA and RNA molecules considered monomers or polymers?
They are considered polymers. The monomers of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) are nucleotides. Each nucleotide has a phosphate, a sugar and a nitrogenous base.
What is in Rna that is not in Dna?
The nucleotide base Uracil.
Is a adenine an enzyme?
No, it is a nucleotide base used to construct DNA and RNA
An organic base that contains nitrogen a subunit of a nucleotide in DNA and RNA is?
Nitrogenous Base

What is a nucleotide polymer?
Both DNA and RNA are polymers of Nucleic Acids
What nucleotide base in DNA is replaced by a base in RNA?
In DNA thymine is one of the nitrogen bases, but in RNA uracil replaces thymine still leaving four nitrogen bases
When is uracil used in DNA?
No, it is not found in DNA, thought it is found in RNA.
What is the difference between a base and a nucleotide?
A nucleotide is the sugar (in DNA is a deoxyribose in RNA it's ribose), phosphate group and 1 base. A base pair is the "rung in the ladder" for example in DNA it could be adenine + thymine or guanine + cytosine. In RNA the thymine is replaced by uracil
What nucleotide is present in RNA but not in DNA?
deoxythymidinetriphosphate (dTTP) is the nucleotide in DNA that is not present in RNA. The corresponding base is thymine (T). RNA contains the nucleotide uridinetriphosphate (UTP) instead. In their incorporated forms, the will be in the monophosphate state.Note: Someone previously changed this to read "Deoxythymine is the nucleotide in DNA that is not present in RNA. The corresponding Rna base is Uracil." While they had good intentions, this represents several common errors in molecular Biology. "Deoxythymine" does not exist as a nucleotide (or anything at all for that matter). The nucleoside is called deoxythymidine. If a nucleoside such as deoxythymidine is paired with one or more phosphate groups, it is then a nucleotide.

They are considered polymers. The monomers of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) are nucleotides. Each nucleotide has a phosphate, a sugar and a nitrogenous base.
