Purines bond to pyrimidines in nucleic acid DNA .
Adenine and guanine, being purines ( double ringed ) always bond with thymine and cytosine, single ringed pyrimidines.
Uracil will bond with Adenine. In protein synthesis however, Thymine replaces the Adenine and forms a bond with Uracil. (Please keep in mind that Uracil is only found in RNA[ribonucleic acid]).
Purines bond to pyrimidines
Purines and pyrimedines are both nitrogenous bases. Normally a purine and pyrimedine bond together in DNA. Normally, Adenine bonds to thymine in DNA or uracil in RNA and Guanine bonds to Cytosine.
No. The physical structure does not allow purines to pair with other purines. Purines can only be paired with Pyrimidines.
Purines always bond with Pyrimidines.
adenine and guanine are the two purines
Purines because purines have two rings where as pyrimidines have only one ring.
two of the bases are purines- adenine and guanine.
The purines in RNA are Adenine (A) and Guanine (G).
In DNA, there are four types of nucleotides. These are Guanine, Cytosine, Thymine and Adenine. Guanine and Adenine are purines whereas Cytosine and Thymine are pyrimidines. Adenine will always bond with thymine in DNA. Therefore, guanine and cytosine bond together. These comnplementary base pairing allows the DNA to be replicated and is also used in protein synthesis.
uhm purines lol no lie
