The purines are Adenine and Guanine nucleotides; while the pyrimidines are Cytosine, Thymine - and Uracil in Rna - nucleotides.
They are the 'beads' that make up the immense chain of nucleotide bases in Dna.
A, C, G, T & U:
Adenine - represented by an A;
Cytosine - represented by a C;
Guanine - represented by a G;
Thymine (Dna only) - represented by a T; and
Uracil (Rna only) - represented by a U.
A pyrimidine is a single ringed base. The three kinds are; Cytosine, Thymine (in Dna) and Uracil (only in Rna).
A purine is a double ringed base. the two kinds are; Adenine and Guanine.
Adenine pairs with Thymine in Dna - or Uracil in Rna;
Guanine pairs with Cytosine in both Dna and Rna.

A purine is a double ringed base. the two kinds are; adenine and guanine.?
Adenine pairs with thymine in DNA or Uracil in RNA.?
Guanine pairs with Cytosine in both DNA and RNA
Purines because purines have two rings where as pyrimidines have only one ring.
Purines and pyrimidines are nitrogen bases found in DNA and RNA .They are nitrogen containing heterocyclic compounds .Purines are large double ringed while pyrimidines are small single ringed .
No. The physical structure does not allow purines to pair with other purines. Purines can only be paired with Pyrimidines.

Purines and pyrimidines are the building blocks of nucleic acids. The difference between purines and pyrimidines is in the number of carbon-rings present. Pyrimidines contain one carbon-ring while purines have two.
Purines because purines have two rings where as pyrimidines have only one ring.
Adenine and Guanine are purines, and Thymine and Cytosine are pyrimidines.
Purines and pyrimidines are nitrogen bases found in DNA and RNA .They are nitrogen containing heterocyclic compounds .Purines are large double ringed while pyrimidines are small single ringed .
Purines bond to pyrimidines in nucleic acid DNA .
No. The physical structure does not allow purines to pair with other purines. Purines can only be paired with Pyrimidines.
Adenine and guanine, being purines ( double ringed ) always bond with thymine and cytosine, single ringed pyrimidines.
A purine has a double ring, while a pyrimidine has a single ring. Also purines are adenine and guanine, and the pyrimidines are thymine and cytosine.
