All of the four nucleotides have a nitrogenous base.
Adenine: has a double ring, nitrogenous base and found in DNA and RNA
Thymine:single ring with nitrogenous base. ONLY FOUND IN RNA. not DNA. that is a difference from the rest of the three nucleotides.
Cytosine: single ring with nitrogenous base, found in both DNA and RNA
Guanine: double ring with nitrogenous base, found in DNA and RNA.
also i guess you can say there is another difference with the double and single rings.

What are the 4 nucleotides for DNA?
A DNA nucleotide includes a phosphate, a deoxyribose sugar and a nitrogenous base. Only the nitrogenous base changes in the four different nucleotides. The four different bases are adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C) and guanine (G).
DNA was discarded as a possible candidate for the genetic material because?
with only four types of nucleotides, it was a very simple, repetitive molecule that could not account for 20 different amino acids
The DNA molecule has four different kinds of these?
DNA molecules have four different kinds of bases. These bases pair up with one another in order to make DNA.
What are Free Nucleotides?
Free Nucleotides are ones that exist in the form of a triphosphate or three phosphates. When it is combined in DNA, the nucleotide loses two phosphates and only one phosphate is included in the DNA.
What does each nucleotide in a strand of DNA consist of?
A DNA molecule consists of two long polynucleotide chains composed of four types of nucleotide subunits. Each of these chains is known as a DNA chain, or a DNA strand. Hydrogen bonds between the base portions of the nucleotides hold the two chains together (Figure 4-3). As we saw in Chapter 2 (Panel 2-6, pp. 120-121), nucleotides are composed of a five-carbon sugar to which are attached one or more phosphate groups and a nitrogen-containing base. In the case of the nucleotides in DNA, the sugar is deoxyribose attached to a single phosphate group (hence the name deoxyribonucleic acid), and the base may be either adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), or thymine (T). The nucleotides are covalently linked together in a chain through the sugars and phosphates, which thus form a "backbone" of alternating sugar-phosphate-sugar-phosphate (see Figure 4-3). Because only the base differs in each of the four types of subunits, each polynucleotide chain in DNA is analogous to a necklace (the backbone) strung with four types of beads (the four bases A, C, G, and T). These same symbols (A, C, G, and T) are also commonly used to denote the four different nucleotides---that is, the bases with their attached sugar and phosphate groups.
What part of the nucleotides changes?
The sugar and phosphate group of nucleotides never change. There are four possible nitrogenous bases and thus it is the only part of nucleotides that can change.
What is the difference between analogy and idiom?
An analogy is a comparison between two things to highlight their similarities, while an idiom is a phrase with a meaning that is different from the literal interpretation of its individual words. Analogies are used to explain complex ideas by drawing parallels, whereas idioms are expressions unique to a language or culture.
What are the difference between parrot and butterfly with regards to number of legs?
The difference is four. Insects have six legs - birds only have two.
What are the 4 nucleotides for DNA?
A DNA nucleotide includes a phosphate, a deoxyribose sugar and a nitrogenous base. Only the nitrogenous base changes in the four different nucleotides. The four different bases are adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C) and guanine (G).
The DNA of all living organisms is composed of the same nucleotides It is only the sequence of nucleotides and quantity of DNA an organism possesses that cause the differences between organisms?
True
State four differences between black and caucasian skin?
The only difference is melanin content which is irrelevant. There are no others.
What is the difference between sunni and shia and kharajite and sufism in Islam?
there are many difference between a suni and a shia suni say that there are four khalifha but shias say that there is only one khalifha hazrat ALI
What are found in the DNA?
DNA nucleotides. Note that adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine are NOT nucleotides, but they are only the bases which make the nucleotides different.
What is the difference between a 1966 ford f350 and a 2011 f350?
The only similarity between these two cars is that they both have four wheels. Everything else is different.
What are difference between aircraft A300 and A380?
The A380 is much larger and has four engines, while the A300 has only two engines.
Which base is only found in RNA nucleotides?
Uracil is only found in RNA nucleotides. In DNA uracil is replaced by thymine.
Kinds of theater?
athenian theater, medieval theater, Elizabethan theater, and panoramic theater the difference between the four is their architectural design only
