Why only adenine guanine cytosine thymine and uracil are only considered as the basic units of DNA why not other purines and pyramidines?

You question dosent really make sence, but if you are asking why are they not Purines and Pyramidines...They are Adenine and Guanine are Purines, and then you can realise that Thymine Cytosine and Uracil are all Pyramidines. If you are asking why are they only considered as purines and prymidines they are not there a many different types of Purines and Pyramidines but because when you study Biology and DNA is a topic that you cover frequently, they are noted but an example of a Purine is Uric Acid (essentially a product when it a Purine is broken down but still considered as a Purine). Hope this is helpful...
