All of the following statements regarding the chemical and physical properties of amino acids are correct EXCEPT:
1. The properties of amino acids depend on the amino group, carboxyl group and the R functional group.
2. Amino acids can be classified as acidic, basic or neutral based on the number of amino and carboxyl groups present.
3. Aromatic amino acids include tyrosine, phenylalanine and tryptophan.
4. The structure of amino acids remains unchanged in solutions of different pH due to the non-ionizable nature of –NH₂ and –COOH groups.

All of the following statements regarding nitrogen bases, nucleosides, nucleotides, and nucleic acids are correct EXCEPT:
1. Nitrogen bases such as adenine, guanine, cytosine, uracil, and thymine contain heterocyclic rings.
2. When a nitrogen base is attached to a sugar molecule, the compound formed is called a nucleoside.
3. Nucleotides are formed when a nitrogen base is directly esterified to a phosphate group without sugar involvement.
4. DNA and RNA are nucleic acids, composed exclusively of nucleotides, and can function as genetic material.
