If I have 8 DNA nucleotides, how many
DNA
bases do I have?
How many base pairs?

Answer:
Each nucleotide contains phosphate, sugar (of the deoxyribose type), and one of the four bases (Figure 8-4). When the phosphate group is not present, the base and the deoxyribose form a nucleoside rather than a nucleotide. The four bases are adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine.
