Are the nitrogenous bases just free floating in the nucleus? If so..why are they just floating? And how are they made? Thank you :)

Answer:

No, they order in sequences of base pairs in DNA

Step-by-step explanation:

As you know, there are four nucleotides: Adenine, Thiamine, Cytosine, and Guanine. Adenine and guanine are purines, and cytosine and guanine are pyrimidines. You might not know what that means, so just in case purines are longer and pyrimidines are shorter. Therefore, A pairs with T and C with G. These pairings, along with other structural enzymes, build strands of DNA in the nucleus. I hope that helped, if you have more questions just let me know.
