Solution Summary
DNA is made up of four nitrogen bases: Adenine (A), Guanine (G), Cytosine (C), and Thymine (T). Each deoxyribonucleotide will contain one of these four bases. Adenine and guanine are also known as purine bases; cytosine and thymine are also called pyrimidine bases. It is always a rule that A pairs with T and C pairs with G.
