Purines form hydrogen bonds to pyrimidines. Adenine pairs up with Thymine (in DNA) and Uracil (in RNA) and Guanine pairs with Cytosine. A-T pairing has 2 hydrogen bonds and C-G pairing has 3 hydrogen bonds.

How many nucleoitides are in the human body?

There are technically five nucleotides in the human body. In DNA, adenine and thymine always match up and cytosine and guanine always match up. In RNA, thymine is replaced by uracil.

Chromosomes are made out of what molecule?

Chromosomes are DNA, which is made of sequences of nucleotides. Also there are some supporting factors such as proteint which help with it's structure and functioning. Nucleotides are molecules with a carbon-skeleton structure, about 3 small rings in size each. They bind in strings to other nucleotides quite strongly. One string binds less strongly to another string, but only if the nucleotides match (largely). In DNA there are four nucleotides, Adenine and Thymine which match, and Guanine and Cytosine which match.


The DNA of microorganisms is made up of subunits called?

The DNA of microorganisms is made up of subunits called nucleotides. These nucleotides consist of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. The sequence of these nucleotides forms the genetic information of the microorganism.


How is a gene related to the sequence of nucleotides?

Genes are segments of DNA. DNA is made up of polymer of nucleotides joined together. When there is an alteration in the sequence of nucleotides, gene mutation occurs.


What are nucluetides in DNA?

Nucleotides are the building blocks of DNA, consisting of a sugar molecule (deoxyribose), a phosphate group, and one of four nitrogenous bases (adenine, thymine, cytosine, or guanine). They are linked together through phosphodiester bonds to form the DNA double helix structure.
