DNA and RNA both have adenine,guanine,cytosine as nitrogenous base component of nucleic acids. both give absorption maxima at 260nm due to this structural similarity.

Both have same phosphodiester bonds connectng the nucleotide monomers. This is why both can be cleaved by same phosphodiesterases.

What are the bases for RNA?

The bases for RNA are Adenine, Guanine, Uracil and Cytosine. A, G and C are exactly the same as in DNA. Uracil in RNA replaces Thymine in DNA.


Do DNA and RNA have the same nitrogenous bases?

No, DNA and RNA do not have the same nitrogenous bases. DNA contains adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G), while RNA contains adenine (A), uracil (U), cytosine (C), and guanine (G).
