The purines adenine and guanine are two of the four nitrogen bases in DNA. There are many other purines that are found in nature, but not in DNA.

Which nucleotides are purines?

purines are double ringed nitrogenous bases of DNA and RNA including adenine and guanine. the three others are cytosine and thymine( uracil is present instead of thymine in RNA) are pyrimidines. 1.nitrogen is present at 1,3,7,9 positionin in purines.

One of two purines used as a nitrogen base in nucleotides?

Adenine and Guanine are the two purines used as nitrogen bases in nucleotides. They form complementary base pairs with thymine and cytosine in DNA and with uracil and cytosine in RNA.


Purines and pyrimidines are?

Purines and pyrimidines are nitrogen bases found in DNA and RNA .They are nitrogen containing heterocyclic compounds .Purines are large double ringed while pyrimidines are small single ringed .


Which base is found on DNA nucleotides but not rna nucleotides?

Thymine is found on DNA nucleotides but not on RNA nucleotides. In RNA, thymine is replaced by uracil.


What enzyme matches RNA nucleotides to complementary DNA nucleotides?

The enzyme that matches RNA nucleotides to complementary DNA nucleotides is called reverse transcriptase. It is used by retroviruses like HIV to convert their RNA genome into DNA before integrating it into the host cell's genome.


Adenine and guanine are what?

Adenine and Guanine arenucleic acids. They are found in DNA and RNA. In DNA Adenine bonds with another nucleic acid called Thymine and Guanine bonds with Cytosine. In RNA Adenine bonds with Uracil (only found in RNA) and Guanine still bonds with Cytosine. Adenine and quanine are : Purines, Pyrimidines


Does DNA consists of five different nucleotides and does RNA consists of four different nucleotides?

No, first of in total, both RNA and DNA combined have five nucleotides, DNA and RNA, both consists of three of the same nucleotides, and have one that varies between the two. Both DNA and RNA, have the nucleotides, guanine, cytosine and adenine, however DNA, has the additional nucleotide thymine and RNA instead of thymine has uracil. So, DNA's nucleotides are guanine, cytosine, adenine and thymine, while RNA's are guanine, cytosine, adenine and uracil. To specifically answer the question, no DNA consists of four different nucleotides and RNA consists of three of the same nucleotides, with one differing.


What are some examples of polymers of nucleotides?

DNA and RNA are examples of polymers of nucleotides. DNA is composed of two strands of nucleotides, while RNA is typically single-stranded. Both DNA and RNA play essential roles in genetic information storage and protein synthesis.
