Thymine and Cytosine are the pyrimidine nucleotides of DNA, while Adenine and Guanine are the purine structures.

Can purines pair with other purines?

No, purines cannot pair with other purines in DNA or RNA. Purines always pair with pyrimidines through complementary base pairing to maintain the double-stranded structure of DNA. In DNA, adenine (a purine) pairs with thymine (a pyrimidine) and guanine (a purine) pairs with cytosine (a pyrimidine).


What are the two Purines in DNA?

two of the bases are purines- adenine and guanine.


What type of rings do purines have?

Purines have two rings in their structure: a pyrimidine ring fused to an imidazole ring.


Is thymine a purine?

The bases cytosine (C), thymine (T), and uracil (U), are pyrimidine derivatives. They have a six ringed structure.IN DNA, the purines adenine (A) and guanine (G) pair up with the pyrimidines thymine (T) and cytosine (C).Purines have a pyrimidine ring fused to an imidazole ring.As to the question: No, they do not. They are purines.


What is The ratio of purine and pyrimidine in DNA and RNA?

Not necessarily, you are mixing up your terms. DNA and RNA are two different types of nucleic acids. Pyrimidines and purines are subsets of those nucleic acids. Let me show you an example: DNA is composed of deoxy A,T,C,G type nucleic acids, A and G are purines, T and C are pyrimidines. RNA is composed of (oxy) A,U,C,G type nucleic acids, A and G are purines, U and C are pyrimidines. The A and G purines in DNA and RNA are not the same since both DNA and RNA are intrinsically different (although their structures are similar). This goes the same for U,C and T. These will help you.

What are the two nitrogenous called purines and pyridine?

The two purines are adenine and guanine. The two pyrimidines are thymine and cytosine. Uracil (only in RNA) is also a pyrimidine.


What is the difference between a purines and pyrimidines?

A purine has a double ring, while a pyrimidine has a single ring. Also purines are adenine and guanine, and the pyrimidines are thymine and cytosine.


What nucleotide is a double ringed molecule?

Purines are nucleotides with a double ringed structure.Adenosine and Guanine are purines


What are the purine bases and pyrimidine bases?

The purine bases are adenine and guanine, while the pyrimidine bases are cytosine, thymine, and uracil. Purine bases have a double-ring structure, while pyrimidine bases have a single-ring structure. These nitrogenous bases are essential components of DNA and RNA molecules.


What is the diameter of the DNA double helix?

Purines always bond with Pyrimidines.


Can purine be found in nucleotide of rna?

Yes, purine bases are found in RNA nucleotides. Adenine and guanine are purines that are components of RNA nucleotides.


What are two essential types of nucleotide sequences found in transposon DNA?

Terminal inverted repeats (TIRs) and target site duplications (TSDs) are two essential types of nucleotide sequences found in transposon DNA. TIRs are short inverted sequences found at each end of the transposon, while TSDs are short repeated sequences created upon insertion of the transposon into the target DNA.
