Verified step by step guidance
1
Understand the structure of DNA: DNA is composed of nucleotides, each containing a phosphate group, a sugar molecule, and a nitrogenous base.
Identify the nitrogenous bases in DNA: The four nitrogenous bases found in DNA are adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G).
Recognize the pairing rules: In DNA, adenine pairs with thymine, and cytosine pairs with guanine, forming the double helix structure.
Differentiate between DNA and RNA: RNA contains uracil (U) instead of thymine, which is why uracil is not found in DNA.
Review the options provided: Compare each option to the known nitrogenous bases in DNA and identify the correct set as adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine.
