Whether cytosine is a nucleotide , nucleoside or neither a nucleotide nor a nucleoside has to be predicted. Concept introduction: A nucleotide consists of a pentose sugar, a nitrogen-containing base, and a phosphate group while a nucleoside consists of a nitrogen-containing base and a pentose sugar.
