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.

Keywords: DNA, RNA, Nucleotides

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

weeeeeb [17]

When Amanda poured some of the liquid in a test tube, she noticed that the edges if the water curved upward, which is an illustration of adhesion.  

When Pol filled another test tube to the top, the liquid formed a low dome, which is a proof of cohesion.  

When Amanda added table salt to the first test tube and shook it, she noticed that the liquid had dissolved the solute.  

All of these observations are suggesting the existence of covalent bonds.  

Pol determined that the pH of the sample is 7 that indicates that the sample is neutral.  

Based on all the proof gathered by Pol and Amanda, the unknown liquid is water.
