Question

Group the following as nitrogenous bases and nucleosides:
Adenine, Cytidine, Thymine, Guanosine, Uracil and Cytosine.​

Answer 1

Glycosylamines without a Phosphate group

Explanation:

• Nitrogenous Bases are a molecule which contains nitrogen and has the chemical properties of a base.
• For example-

1. In DNA,  adenine (A), guanine (G), thymine (T), and cytosine (C) are the nitrogenous bases.
2. In RNA are same with one exception of uracil(U), adenine (A), guanine (G) and cytosine (C).

• Nucleosides is any nucleotide( contains nitrogenous base, phosphate group, and sugar ) that does not have a phosphate group but it is bound to the 5' carbon of the pentose sugar.
• Examples of Nucleosides- Guanosine, Cytidine, etc
