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.


Can purine be found in nucleotide of rna?

Yes. Adenine and guanine are purines.


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.
