Question

the bases in dna (& rna) are more accurately described as ______ bases.
sulfuric
acidic
nitrogenous
iambic
phosphoric
rewatch

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

DNA and RNA bases (adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine/uracil) all contain nitrogen atoms in their structure, so they are called nitrogenous bases. Sulfuric, acidic, iambic, and phosphoric do not describe these bases—sulfuric/phosphoric refer to acids, acidic is incorrect (they have basic properties), and iambic is a poetic term.

Answer:

nitrogenous
