What are the structures for a nucleic acid?

Answer 1

4 nitrogen bases :adanine,cytosine,thymine,guanine

Answer 2

Nucleic acids are composed of nucleotide monomers. Nucloeotide has parts:

1.Nitrogenous base: .Adenine.Guanine.Cytosine.Thymine(present in DNA only).Uracil (present in RNA only)

2.5-carbon sugar which is called deoxyribose (found in DNA) and ribose (found in RNA).

3.One or more phosphate groups

Answer 3

Nucleic acids are DNA and RNA. They are both made up of nucleotides which are composed of:

1) 5 carbon sugar ring

2) Phosphate group

3) Nitrogenous base (adenine, guanine, thymine, cytosine, uracil)

Answer 4

There are two nucleic acids:
DNA is a pattern made up of four different nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of a sugar (deoxyribose) in the middle of a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base .
There are two classes of bases. Two are purines (double-ringed structures) and two are pyrimidines (single-ringed structures).
The four bases in DNA's alphabet are:
adenine (A) - a purine
cytosine(C) - a pyrimidine
guanine (G) - a purine
thymine (T) - a pyrimidine

In both DNA and RNA there are four major bases. However, RNA has the first three plus uracil. The substitution of uracil for thymine as a base material constitutes the chief chemical difference between RNA and DNA.

Answer 5

DNA is made up of nucleotides. There are 3 things that make up a nucleotide. 1. Deoxyribose 2. Phosphate Group 3. Nitrogen Base

Answer 6

A nucleotide consists of a phosphate molecule, a deoxyribose sugar, and a base (adenine, cytosine, gaunine, and thymine).

Answer 7

4 nitrogen bases :adanine,cytosine,thymine,guanine

Answer 8

Phosphate, Nitrogenous base, pentose sugar

Answer 9

Each nucleotide consists of a phosphate, a sugar (deoxyribose), and a nitrogenous base, such as, adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine. The sugar is a 5 carbon sugar.

Answer 10

A DNA nucleotide contains the sugar deoxyribose, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen base. There are four nitrogen bases; adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine.
