Is it Nitrogenous Bases or Nucleobases

Nucleobase specifically refers to adenine, thymine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil while nitrgenous base may include other compounds such as ammonia and triethylalmine. Nucleobase is a more exact and specific term that focuses on the nitrogenous bases that make up nucleic acids.

Nucleobases would be a better term of the two because it more specifically refers to these compounds rather than being generic terms.
Both are in fact correct, i believe, but nitrogenous base could be used to describe ammonia and various other compounds.

From iology Point of view Nucleobases is the correct name for them. If you look from chemistry angle then Nitrogen bases looks more appropriate.
So Suit urself :)

Nucleobases is the correct way, but most people abbreviate this to bases in conversation.
