DNA and RNA both contain four different nitrogenous bases.

The bases in DNA are Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C) and Guanine (G).

The bases in RNA are A, C, G and Uracil (U).

What is the nucleic acid structures in order of size form largest to?

From largest to smallest, nucleic acid structures are organized as follows: chromosome, chromatin, DNA double helix, DNA strand, gene, and nucleotide.


The basic unit of DNA is?

It is called a nucleotide. The basic unit of DNA and RNA is nucleic acid. Notice DNA and RNA both end in NA that is because NA stands for nucleic acid. The D in DNA stand for Deoxyribo. And the R in RNA stands for ribo. So DNA's full name is deoxyribo nucleic acid and RNA's full name is ribo nucleic acid.


Are nucleotide and nitrogenous base and nucleic acid related to each other?

Yes, nucleotides are the building blocks of nucleic acids. Each nucleotide is composed of a nitrogenous base, a sugar molecule, and a phosphate group. Nitrogenous bases are a specific type of molecule that make up the nucleotides, which in turn form nucleic acids like DNA and RNA.


What are the basic structural units of Dna and Rna molecules?

Answer: The basic unit of DNA and RNA is nucleic acid. Notice DNA and RNA both end in NA that is because NA stands for nucleic acid. The D in DNA stand for Deoxyribo. And the R in RNA stands for ribo. So DNA's full name is deoxyribo nucleic acid and RNA's full name is ribo nucleic acid.


What is the name for a series of three nucleic acid bases on the tRNA?

The name for a series of three nucleic acid bases on the tRNA is called an anticodon. It is complementary to the codon on the mRNA during protein synthesis, allowing tRNA to bring the correct amino acid to the ribosome.
