Nucleotide degradation has no known associated disease states. results in production of a citric acid cycle intermediate for thymine. is the same pathway for all nucleotides. results in purine bases being converted to urea in humans.

The answer is: results in purine bases being converted to urea in humans.

Explanation:

When purines are degraded, when they have been released from pentose and phosphate, all purines are transformed into uric acid that consecutively degrades to urea. This urea breaks down into ammonia and carbon dioxide. Uric acid and its derivatives are characterized by being very insoluble in water, which leads to health problems when its concentration is increased, a disease known as hyperuricemia. Food rich in purines or causes this disease. A protein-rich diet induces alkalinization of the blood, leading to an increase in uric acid and lower solubility of uric acid.
