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
An organic base that contains nitrogen a subunit of a nucleotide in DNA and RNA is?
Nitrogenous Base
Describe the parts of a nucleotide?
A nucleotide is made of a phosphate, a sugar and a nitrogenous base. In RNA the sugar is ribose and in DNA it is deoxyribose. The bases in DNA are A, T, G and C. The T is replaced by U in RNA.
What nucleotide sequence ACCTG found in?
Yes, it's possible. The nitrogen bases found in DNA are adenine (A), guanine (G), thymine (T), and cytosine (C). However, the sequence ACCTG contains only one DNA codon, ACC, as codons are always a sequence of three nitrogen bases.
What nitrogenous base is not found on DNA but is found on RNA?
Thymine is not found in RNA. It is instead replaced by Uracil.
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

A nucleotide is made of a phosphate, a sugar and a nitrogenous base. In RNA the sugar is ribose and in DNA it is deoxyribose. The bases in DNA are A, T, G and C. The T is replaced by U in RNA.
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.
What nucleotide sequence ACCTG found in?
Yes, it's possible. The nitrogen bases found in DNA are adenine (A), guanine (G), thymine (T), and cytosine (C). However, the sequence ACCTG contains only one DNA codon, ACC, as codons are always a sequence of three nitrogen bases.
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.
What is a nucleotide polymer?
Both DNA and RNA are polymers of Nucleic Acids
When is uracil used in DNA?
No, it is not found in DNA, thought it is found in RNA.
What nitrogenous base is not found on DNA but is found on RNA?
Thymine is not found in RNA. It is instead 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.
