Purine base that pairs up with thymine and uracil?

adenine


Thymine into Uracil or vice verse?

Thymine in DNA and uracil in RNA. They are both pyrimidines and are attached to purine adenine.


Does DNA or RNA have uracil?

purine. I remember cytosine, guamine, and uracil are pyrimindine because the word pyrimidine makes me think of the word pryamid and there are THREE pyrimidines which spell the word CUT :) hope that helps :)


Which purine or pyrimidine bases are not present in the messanger RNA m-RNA is it adenine or guanine or cytosine or thymine or uracil?

thyamine isn't present in mRNA its place is taken by uracil


What does A stand for in Biochemistry?

A stands for a purine base found in DNA and RNA; it pairs with thymine in DNA and with uracil in RNA


What are the three pyrimidine bases?

There are 2 groups of nitrogen bases. These are Pyrimidine and Purine. In the Purine group, there are Adenine and Guanine, In the Pyrimidine group, there are Cytosine, Thymine(replaced by Uracil in RNA).


What are the purine bases and pyrimidine bases?

They are the nitrogen bases that are attached to RNA and DNA. In DNA, adenine and guanine are purines and thymine and cytosine are pyrimidines. In RNA, thymine is replaced by pyrimidine uracil.


What base will always pair with another base?

A purine will always pair with a pyrimidine. Examples of purines are adenine (pairs with thymine or uracil) and guanine (pairs with cytosine). Examples of pyrimidines are thymine (pairs with adenine), uracil (pairs with adenine), and cytosine (pairs with guanine).


What are the complimentary base paring?

The rules for base parings in DNA and RNA, are rather simple purines pair with pyrimidines; adenine pairs with thymine and guanine pairs with cytosine In all cases, purines pair with pyrimidines Specifically in DNA, adenine (a purine) pairs with thymine (a pyrimidine) and Guanine (a purine) pairs with cytosine (a pyrimidine) While in RNA, the same simple rules apply, the only difference being uracil replaces thymine adenine (a purine) pairs with uracil (a pyrimidine) and Guanine (a purine pairs with cytosine (a pyrimidine)


What is the base that joins adenine?

adenine is one of the 4 base pairs in a dna structure ,A and T(thymine), and C and G, simple !


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...


Nitrogenous bases of the purine type?

In DNA cytosine and thymine are pyrimidine derivatives. Uracil (in RNA) is also a pyrimidine. Pyrimidines have only one 6-membered ring.
