**Nucleic Acids: Important Bases and Bonds**

1. **Key Nucleotide Bases:**
    - T (Thymine)
    - U (Uracil)
    - C (Cytosine)
    - A-T (Adenine-Thymine pairing)
    - A-U (Adenine-Uracil pairing)
    - A-G (Adenine-Guanine pairing) *(Note: This typically represents adenine and guanine as purines, but does not pair directly.)*

2. **Types of Bonds:**
    - **Covalent Bond:** A strong bond formed when two atoms share a pair of electrons.
    - **Hydrogen Bond:** A weaker bond compared to covalent, but crucial in the stability of DNA and RNA structures.

3. **Key Numerical Representations:**
    - 5: Potentially representing the 5' (five prime) end of a DNA or RNA molecule.
    - 4: Potentially representing the four nucleotide bases in DNA (adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine).
