Vet track Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 How many unique DNA and RNA nucleotides are found in Nature - My initial thought was 5; Cytosine, Thymine, Adenine, Uracil, and Guanine. But the key says I'm wrong, I'm hoping this is a typo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioactiveDecay Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Maybe the question meant for each: 4 for DNA(Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine, Thymine), and 4 for RNA(Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine, Uracil) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabcockHall Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 There are many minor bases (for example pseudo-uracil), although I doubt that one wold be expected to know their exact number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
