Understand the Problem
The question is asking to fill in the blanks with the names of the four nitrogenous bases found in DNA, which are commonly abbreviated as A, T, C, and G.
Answer
Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, Guanine.
The four nitrogenous bases found in DNA are Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine.
Answer for screen readers
The four nitrogenous bases found in DNA are Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine.
More Information
In DNA, adenine always pairs with thymine, and guanine always pairs with cytosine. These pairings are due to hydrogen bonding.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing RNA bases with DNA bases. Uracil (found in RNA) should not be listed.
