Which of the following are the correct nitrogen bases for DNA? Select all that apply

• Adenine

• Thymine

• Cytosine

• Guanine

• Uracil

Uracil is one of the nitrogen bases for which nucleic acid?

• DNA

• RNA

One of the big differences between DNA and RNA is the number of chains that constitute it, however another difference is:

• The number of phosphate groups, RNA has one and DNA has three (ATP)

• The number of nitrogenous bases and their complementarity

• DNA cannot synthesize proteins while RNA can.

• The sugar present in them, in DNA deoxyribose and in RNA ribose.

When analyzing the proportions of nitrogenous bases of a single-stranded fragment of human DNA, the results were as follows: 35% of A, 27% of G, 13% of C, and 25% of T. The proportions of bases of the complementary chain will be.

• T=35%, C=27%, G=13%, A=25%

• T=25%, C=13%, G=27%, A=35%

• U=25%, C=13%, G=27%, A=35%

• T=25%, C=25%, G=25%, A=25%
