Question

Canvas Classes · Accepted Answer

The fundamental pyrimidine bases found in nucleic acids are Cytosine (DNA and RNA), Thymine (DNA only), and Uracil (RNA only).
- Structure (a) represents Cytosine (with an extra double bond representation depending on the tautomer).
- Structure (b) clearly displays Uracil (2,4-dioxopyrimidine), which is the characteristic base uniquely found in RNA replacing thymine.
- Structure (c) represents Thymine (due to the C5-methyl group), found in DNA.
- Structure (d) is a modified synthetical pyrimidin
