A single nucleotide in DNA consists of three components: a phosphate group, a deoxyribose sugar, and a nitrogenous base (adenine, thymine, cytosine, or guanine).
No, deoxyribose and uracil are not found in DNA nucleotides. DNA nucleotides contain deoxyribose sugar and thymine, while RNA nucleotides contain ribose sugar and uracil.
ribose
Uracil is a nucleotide found in RNA but not in DNA. In RNA, uracil replaces thymine, which is found in DNA.
Uracil is not incorporated into the structure of the DNA helix. Uracil is found in RNA instead of thymine, which is the corresponding nucleotide in DNA.
A SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) is a variation at a single position in a DNA sequence that occurs when a single nucleotide (A, T, C, or G) differs between individuals. SNPs are the most common type of genetic variation in individuals and are used in genetic studies to understand genetic predispositions to diseases and traits.
