Title: DNA
Post by: mvilleneuve on Jun 19, 2013
I don't understand how you identify/name nucleotides. My textbook says "Scientists often identify the nucleotides simply by referring to their bases: A, G, C, T (for DNA) and A, G, C, T (for RNA). But I don't get what that means... Doesn't each DNA nucleotide only have one nitrogen base?

If someone could please break this down for me, it would be greatly appreciated! :)

DNA has adenine, thymine,  guanine, & cytosine; & so does RNA. What bio_man said is correct.
