Introduction: A nucleotide can be defined as the molecule which contains a nitrogenous base, a five-carbon sugar, and a phosphate group. The nitrogenous base can be adenine, guanine, cytosine, or thymine. In RNA thymine is replaced by uracil and carbon sugar must be ribose type and deoxyribose is present in DNA.
Explanation of Solution
