Nucleoside: Molecule composed of a
nitrogenous base linked to a sugar called
pentose. The bases in the DNA nucleoside
are adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C)
and thymine (T). The pentose is a deoxyri-
bose. The bases in the RNA nucleoside are
adenine, guanine, cytosine and uracil (U).
The pentose is a ribose.

Nucleotide: Molecule composed of a nucleo-
side and one or more phosphate groups linked
by means of ester bonds with the sugar.

tides linked by covalent bonds.

DNA or RNA hybridization: Two single
DNA or RNA strands with complementary
base sequences that bind (hybridize) under
suitable temperature and pH conditions to
form a double strand. Hybridization takes
place through complementary base pairing
