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.
