There are five types of nucleotides found in nucleic acids.

In DNA there are four types of nucleotides, each containing one of four bases adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G) and cytosine (C).

In RNA there are also four types of nucleotides but the base thymine is replaced by uracil (U).

So in total there are five types of nucleotides, but any DNA or RNA molecule will only contain four of them.

How many different kinds of nucleotides are there?

There are four different kinds of nucleotides: adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G). These nucleotides are the building blocks of DNA.


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.

Does DNA consists of five different nucleotides and does RNA consists of four different nucleotides?

No, first of in total, both RNA and DNA combined have five nucleotides, DNA and RNA, both consists of three of the same nucleotides, and have one that varies between the two. Both DNA and RNA, have the nucleotides, guanine, cytosine and adenine, however DNA, has the additional nucleotide thymine and RNA instead of thymine has uracil. So, DNA's nucleotides are guanine, cytosine, adenine and thymine, while RNA's are guanine, cytosine, adenine and uracil. To specifically answer the question, no DNA consists of four different nucleotides and RNA consists of three of the same nucleotides, with one differing.
