Nucleotides are the building blocks of nucleic acids, which include DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid). There are four types of nucleotides, each distinguished by its nitrogenous base. The four types are:

Adenine (A): Adenine pairs with Thymine (in DNA) or Uracil (in RNA).

Thymine (T): Thymine pairs with Adenine in DNA.

Guanine (G): Guanine pairs with Cytosine.

Cytosine (C): Cytosine pairs with Guanine.

In RNA, the base Thymine is replaced by Uracil. So, the RNA nucleotide types are Adenine (A), Uracil (U), Guanine (G), and Cytosine (C). These nucleotides form the sequence of bases that encode genetic information in DNA and RNA.
