The correct Answer is:
To determine the total number of types of nucleotides, we can follow these steps: 1. **Identify the Nucleotides in DNA**: - DNA contains four types of nucleotides: - Adenine (A) - Guanine (G) - Cytosine (C) - Thymine (T) 2. **Identify the Nucleotide in RNA**: - RNA has one nucleotide that is different from DNA: - Uracil (U) replaces Thymine in RNA. 3. **Count the Total Types of Nucleotides**: - From DNA, we have 4 types (A, G, C, T). - From RNA, we have 1 additional type (U). - Therefore, the total number of types of nucleotides is 4 (from DNA) + 1 (from RNA) = 5. 4. **Conclusion**: - The total number of types of nucleotides is 5. ### Final Answer: The total number of types of nucleotides is 5. ---
