The one part of the nucleotide that differs among the other different nucleotides is the nitrogenous base.

<h2>Further Explanation;</h2><h3>Nucleic Acids</h3>

Nucleic acids are one of the four major bio-molecules in nature. Nuclei acids is divided into two; RNA and DNA.

<h3>Nucleotides</h3>
  • The building blocks of nucleic acids are Nucleotides which are made by a nitrogenous base which is specific to each nucleotide, a sugar and a phosphate group.

The main nucleotides are;

  • Adenine
  • Guanine
  • Cytosine
  • Thymine
  • Uracil (RNA)
<h3>DNA </h3>
  • DNA is a nucleic acid that is responsible for carrying genetic information in living organisms.
  • It is through DNA that genetic information is passed from one organism to another through the process of DNA replication.
  • Additionally, it carries the information that is used to make proteins which performs various functions in living cells.
  • Each Nucleotide in DNA contains a nitrogenous base, a deoxyribose sugar, and a phosphate group.
  • DNA molecules are made up of nitrogenous bases; Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and Thymine.
<h3>RNA</h3>
  • Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a type of nucleic acid, a molecule that plays a major role in the flow of information from the DNA to the proteins. For a gene to be expressed information has to be passed through the RNA.
  • Each nucleotide in RNA contains a nitrogenous base, a ribose sugar, and a phosphate group.
  • Nucleotides in RNA includes; Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and uracil. Thymine in DNA is replaced with Uracil.

Aside from its nitrogen bases, all nucleotides are similar. The bases will either be adenine, cytosine, guanine, uracil, or thymine.
