Bases
Bases are components of nucleotides, which in turn are the building blocks of RNA and DNA. The four bases commonly enountered in RNA are adenine, guanine,cytosine, and uracil. Bases are sometimes callednitrogenous bases to emphasize the presence of nitrogen in this part of the RNA molecule.
A base differs from a nucleotide in its lack of ribose and phosphate.
