One can determine whether a nucleotide is DNA or RNA by looking at the sugar molecule it contains. DNA nucleotides have deoxyribose sugar, while RNA nucleotides have ribose sugar. This difference in sugar molecules helps distinguish between the two types of nucleotides.
Yes, RNA contains uracil in its nucleotide sequence instead of thymine, which is found in DNA.
The repeating structural unit that forms RNA and DNA is a nucleotide. Each nucleotide consists of a sugar molecule, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base (adenine, thymine, cytosine, or guanine). These nucleotides link together to form the long chains of RNA and DNA molecules.
The subunit used to build DNA and RNA is called a nucleotide. Nucleotides consist of a sugar molecule, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base (adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine in DNA; adenine, guanine, cytosine, uracil in RNA).
Thymine is a nucleotide that occurs in DNA molecules but not in RNA molecules. In RNA, thymine is replaced by uracil.
No, adenine bonds with thymine in Dna, while adenine bonds with uracil in Rna [the pairs AT & AU].
The sugar in a DNA nucleotide contains one less oxygen atom.
The sugar in a DNA nucleotide contains one less oxygen atom.
The sugar in a DNA nucleotide contains one less oxygen atom.
Uracil is a nucleotide found in RNA but not in DNA. In RNA, uracil replaces thymine, which is found in DNA.
The nucleotide base Uracil.

No, it is not found in DNA, thought it is found in RNA.
DNA=> Adenine:Thymine --- Guanine:Cytosine RNA=> Adenine:Uracil --- Guanine:Cytosine
A nucleotide polymer is a long chain made up of nucleotide units bonded together. Each nucleotide consists of a nitrogenous base, a sugar molecule, and a phosphate group. Nucleotide polymers form the backbone of DNA and RNA molecules.
The sugar in a DNA nucleotide contains one less oxygen atom.
The sugar in a DNA nucleotide contains one less oxygen atom.
