Each nucleotide has three components:
* a nitrogenous base: either a purine (adenine or guanine) or a pyrimidine (cytosine or thymine) * a sugar: the pentose, deoxyribose * a phosphate group The sugar is in the middle of the three. Its 1' carbon is attached to the base, and its 5' carbon to the phosphate.
A nucleotide in DNA consists of a phosphate bound to a deoxyribose sugar which is bound to a specific base (adenine, guanine, thymine, or cytosine). Without the phosphate this would be called a nucleoside.
DNA nucleotides consist of three components: a phosphate group, a deoxyribose sugar molecule, and one of four nitrogenous bases (adenine, thymine, cytosine, or guanine).
DNA nucleotides. Note that adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine are NOT nucleotides, but they are only the bases which make the nucleotides different.

What is the name of the nucleotides have no DNA and no RNA?
Many viruses have nucleotides not found in DNA or RNA, such as Retroviruses like HIV that use reverse transcriptase to convert RNA into DNA for replication.
Is thymine not in nucleotide of DNA?
Adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine are all nucleotides found in DNA
Do the rna nucleotides pair exactly as they were DNA replication?
No, RNA nucleotides in transcription pair with complementary DNA nucleotides according to the base pairing rules (A-U, G-C), as opposed to replicating DNA in which DNA nucleotides pair with complementary DNA nucleotides (A-T, G-C).
What are the parts of a DNA nucleotides?
Nitrogenous base, phosphate group, and RNA.
What is the Enzyme that assembles DNA nucleotides into polynucleotides using an existing DNA template?
DNA polymerase is the enzyme responsible for assembling DNA nucleotides into polynucleotides using an existing DNA template. It adds complementary nucleotides to the template strand during DNA replication.
Do all the nucleotides in human DNA belong to genes?
No - genes are the parts of DNA that code for a functional product (such as a protein). There are other parts of the DNA which are not genes.
What are the four parts of DNA?
NUCLEOTIDES, look up bases for more specific answers
Molecules of DNA are composed of a long chain are called?
Molecules of DNA are composed of a long chain of nucleotides.
What is the name of the nucleotides have no DNA and no RNA?
Many viruses have nucleotides not found in DNA or RNA, such as Retroviruses like HIV that use reverse transcriptase to convert RNA into DNA for replication.
Could DNA extracted from onion be different from DNA extracted from cauliflower why?
Although DNA is composed of the same four nucleotides in all organisms, the sequence of nucleotides is different for each species
Molecule found in all DNA and RNA nucleotides?
100000000000
What is a molecule found in all DNA and RNA nucleotides?
phosphate
Is the base different from all four DNA nucleotides?
Yes
What is the role of DNA and RNA as it relates to Nucleotides?
DNA and RNA are composed of nucleotides.
Is thymine not in nucleotide of DNA?
Adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine are all nucleotides found in DNA
What enzyme connects nucleotides together during DNA replication?
DNA polymerase is the enzyme responsible for connecting nucleotides together during DNA replication. It adds complementary nucleotides to the newly synthesized DNA strand.
Do the rna nucleotides pair exactly as they were DNA replication?
No, RNA nucleotides in transcription pair with complementary DNA nucleotides according to the base pairing rules (A-U, G-C), as opposed to replicating DNA in which DNA nucleotides pair with complementary DNA nucleotides (A-T, G-C).
