Biology 1 Question?

Question

Considering the two sugars that can form nucleotides (ribose and deoxyribose) and the 5 nitrogenous bases (A, U, C, G, T) that can be attached to the sugars, how many total different nucleotides of RNA and DNA actually exist in normal cells?

Answer 1

RNA always has ribose sugar and either U,A ,G or C as a base

So there are 4 different options for RNA

DNA always has deoxyribose sugar and either A T G or C

So also has 4 possible options

4+4 = 8

So I would say 8 different nucleotides
