A nucleotide is the basic building block of DNA and RNA.
It consists of a sugar(deoxyribose in the case of DNA and ribose in the case of RNA), a phosphate group and a base (either adenine, guanine, cytosine or thymine)

What are the structures for a nucleic acid?
4 nitrogen bases :adanine,cytosine,thymine,guanine
Describe the components of dna?
There are 3 main chemical components of DNA. They are phosphate, a sugar called deoxyribose and a nitrogenous base (adenine, thymine, cytosine or guanine). These three components form a nucleotide. Deoxyribose contains 5 carbon atoms (1', 2', 3', 4', 5') in its structure. Within the nucleotide, the phosphate is bonded to the 5' carbon atom of deoxyribose and the nitrogenous base is bonded to the 1' carbon atom. These bonds are covalent. Each nucleotide is bonded to the next by a bond between the 3' carbon atom of the deoxyribose sugar of one nucleotide to the phosphate of the next. The nitrogenous base varies from one nucleotide to another. In DNA, two long chains of nucleotides are joined together in a double helix structure, often described as a twisted ladder. The two chains are held together by hydrogen bonding between the nitrogenous bases. Adenine on one side is always bonded to thymine on the other, and vice-verse, and the same goes for cytosine and guanine.
How does Frameshift affect an organism?
frameshift is a type of genetic mutation.we all have nitrogenous bases present as triplet codons which codes for the 20 amino acids.3 specific bases codes for a specific amino acid.when any other base enters into this specific codon then there is a shift in the reading frame and the new codon formed doesn't transcribe to produce the same amino acid.this is also known as frame shift.
What is the molecular basis of heredity?
The traits our body has whether they be apparent or not are the result of DNA. DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid. The basic idea is that DNA traits results from the sequence of four nitrogenous bases. They are adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine. They pair with each other in the following way: adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine. DNA is a double helix structure, which is basically two ladders twisted around each other. The two strands are attached by the nitrogenous bases mentioned before. The first idea of DNA's relationship towards heredity is that when the cell divides and forms new cells such ,as when sperm and egg meet, the two strands are pulled apart. From this both of the strands are copied to form what is called RNA, which is ribonucleic acid. Now that there is a copy of the DNA, the process goes onto processing of the RNA strands. That entails deleting parts of it and preparing it for the next step. After this, a cellular structure called a ribosome attaches to the RNA. It goes through the whole RNA strand, three nitrogenous bases at a time. This process all takes place inside of the cell but outside of the nucleus. Inside this, there are these structures known as tRNA. They attach to the ribosome in a way that they match with the RNA strand. Furthermore, at the end of the tRNA is an amino acid. So, when this is done, there is a chain of amino acids. This is a protein. Proteins are the building blocks of an organism. So, to summarize, the sequence in which the nitrogenous bases are presented in DNA relates to the formation of proteins and the traits of the organism.

What are the bondings is nitrogenous bases?
nitrogenous bases are held together with hydrogen bonds. adenine and thymine (or uracil) are held by 2 and guanine and cytosine are held by 3.

Whats the 3 parts of a nucelotide?
Like DNA, RNA polymers are make up of chains of nucleotides *. These nucleotides have three parts: 1) a five carbon ribose sugar, 2) a phosphate molecule and 3) one of four nitrogenous bases: adenine, guanine, cytosine or uracil.
How many nitrogenous bases are found in a anticodon?
3. The opposite three that are located on the codon of an mRNA strand.eg.If mRNA reads CAG UCG AGU Three codonsThen tRNA GUC AGC UCA Three Antiocodons each containing three nitrogenous bases.
How do the nitrogen bases pair up in the DNA nolecule?
Hydrogen bonds between adjacent strands (A-T = 2 H-bonds and C-G = 3 H-bonds) Base stacking among nitrogenous bases of the same strand
