∙ 12y agoNitrogenous bases with one ring are called pyrimidines. To help yourself remember this, use the nitrogenous bases A,C,G,T and the number set 2121. Write these two sets one above the other: A C G T/2121. The numbers underneath
letters correspond to the number of rings each base has, so A has 2 rings, and C has 1 ring, etc. You can then use the phrase, CY (c) and THY (t) are PY (pyrimidines) to remember which is which.

Nitrogen bases with only 1 ring are called?
Purines
Purine bases have what kind of structure?
a single ring structure
Does cytosine contain a purine?
DNA does in fact contain cytosine. This is one of the 4 nucleic acids that are found inside of DNA.
What is Thymine and cytosine also called?
Thymine and cytosine are two nitrogen bases found in DNA. DNA is composed of thousands of nucleotides which are composed of one of four nitrogen bases. Both of these nitrogen bases are also pyrimidines, or they have one ring like structure See related link for more info on thymine, cytosine and pyrimidines.
How many rings does a purine have?
there are double rings in the purine bases and there is only a single ring in the pyrimidine base.
Which is a single-ring nitrogen bases?
Thymine is a single-ringed nitrogenous base.
Carbon ring structure of DNA and RNA that contains one or more atoms of nitrogen?
Carbon ring structures found in DNA or RNA that contains one or more atoms of nitrogen are called nitrogenous bases. There are five types of nitrogenous bases: Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, Guanine and Uracil
A class of organic molecules each having a double ring of carbon and nitrogen atoms?
2 different types of nitrogenous bases: Purine: base w/ double ring of carbon & nitrogen atoms-Adenine (A) & guanine (G) Pyrimidine: single ring of carbon & nitrogen atoms-Cytosine (C) & thymine (T)
Name for small bases containing one carbon-nitrogen ring?
These bases are called pyrimidines.
Single or double ring of carbon and nitrogen atoms with functional groups?
nitrogen base
Nitrogen bases with only 1 ring are called?
Purines
Purine bases have what kind of structure?
a single ring structure
Double ring bases?
Purines, including adenine and guanine, are double ring structures that make up DNA.
Name for small bases containing one carbon nitrogen ring?
These rings are known as pyrimidines.
What class of organic molecules each having a single ring of carbon and nitrogen atoms?
pyrimidines
How are the structures of purines and pyrimidines different?
The main chemical structure difference in purines and pyrimidines is purines have a 5 sided C and N based ring as well as a 6 sided C and N based ring structure. Pyrimidines only have the 6 sided C and N based ring structure, also uracil(unmethylated) replaces thymine(methylated) as a pyrimidine in RNA.
Does cytosine contain a purine?
DNA does in fact contain cytosine. This is one of the 4 nucleic acids that are found inside of DNA.
