The four nitrogen bases of RNA are ____________.

• guanine

• cytosine

• adenine

• thymine

• uracil

Why does the sequence of nitrogen bases on DNA matter?

• it is inherited

• it can affect if a trait is expressed

• it can affect how your body functions

• it has no affect on replication

• it can affect what animal you turn into after you grow up
