6.The bases - the letters of the genetic alphabet - consist of the four nucleotides mentioned a page or two back: adenine, thiamine, guanine, and cytosine.
7.Nucleotides of DNA are made out of a sugar deoxyribose, a phosphate, and one of the four nuclear bases: adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine or A, C, G, T for short.
8.This attaches methyl groups (a carbon atom and three hydrogens) to either adenine or cytosine, two of the four chemical bases that form the alphabet of DNA, depending on the gene involved.
