Which chemical is not found in DNA nucleotides?

Correct Answer: Uracil

Explanation:

A nucleotide is an organic molecule that is the building block of DNA and RNA. They also have functions related to cell signaling, metabolism, and enzyme reactions. A nucleotide is made up of three parts: a phosphate group, a 5-carbon sugar, and a nitrogenous base. The four nitrogenous bases in DNA are adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine. RNA contains uracil, instead of thymine. 


 


A nucleotide within a chain makes up the genetic material of all known living things.
