any of a group of molecules that, when linked together, form the building blocks of DNA or RNA: composed of a phosphate group, the bases adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine, and a pentose sugar, in RNA the thymine base being replaced by uracil.

What are the four necleotide bases that encode our genetic blueprint?

The four nucleotide bases that encode our genetic blueprint are adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G). These bases pair up in specific combinations (A-T and C-G) to form the rungs of the DNA double helix, which carries genetic information.


What three things make up necleotide?

A nucleotide is composed of three key components: a nitrogenous base, a five-carbon sugar (deoxyribose in DNA and ribose in RNA), and one or more phosphate groups. The nitrogenous base can be either a purine (adenine or guanine) or a pyrimidine (cytosine, thymine, or uracil). These components combine to form the building blocks of nucleic acids, which are essential for storing and transmitting genetic information.
