Adennie, Thymine, and Uracil are classified as what?

Question

single ring structure 

 

Answer 1

Adenine, thymine, and uracil are nucleic bases that pair together during DNA replication and/or during the translation of DNA to RNA.

Adenine is classified as a purine; it is a double ring structure.

Thymine and uracil are classified as pyrimidines; they are a single ring structure.

 

Thymine is only present in DNA, and uracil is only present in RNA.

 

Adenine binds with thymine during DNA replication. 

Adenine binds with uracil during RNA translation. 

To form bonds purines can only pair with pyrimidines.
