What are purines?

Adenine (A) and Guanine (G)

2
New cards

What are the pyrimidines?

Cytosine (C), Thymine (T), and Uracil (U)

New cards

Adenine

purine, base that pairs with Thymine in DNA, with and Uracil in RNA

<p>purine, base that pairs with Thymine in DNA, with and Uracil in RNA</p>

New cards

Guanine

purine base that pairs with Cytosine in DNA and in RNA

<p>purine base that pairs with Cytosine in DNA and in RNA</p>
5
New cards

Uracil

pyrimidine base that pairs with Adenine, found only in RNA (but not DNA because Thymine replaces Uracil as a base in DNA)
