to pair with guanine
Cytosine is one of the four main nitrogenous bases found in DNA and RNA molecules. Its primary role is in storing genetic information and participating in the process of protein synthesis. Additionally, cytosine is also used in research and diagnostic tools to identify mutations in DNA sequences.
cytosine (C).
Cytosine is the pyrimidine that bonds to the purine Guanine in both DNA and Rna.
Guanine is a complementary base for cytosine in DNA.
DNA is a very large chemical compound, deoxyribonuclelic acid. DNA makes up every part of human and animal body chemistry.
In DNA Guanine always pairs with Cytosine (C) cytosine (C) guanine (G) thymine (T) adenine (A)
In both DNA and RNA, cytosine pairs with guanine.
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).
Guanine bonds to Cytosine in DNA through three hydrogen bonds. It also bonds to a Deoxyribose molecule in the backbone of the DNA molecule.
Cytosine is a nitrogenous base that is a component of DNA, but on its own, it is not a nucleotide. In DNA, cytosine pairs with guanine through hydrogen bonding to form a complementary base pair. Nucleotides are composed of a nitrogenous base, a sugar, and a phosphate group.
