Detailed explanation-1: -Listen to pronunciation. (SY-toh-seen) A chemical compound that is used to make one of the building blocks of DNA and RNA. It is a type of pyrimidine.
Detailed explanation-2: -Adenine and guanine are purine nucleotides, while cytosine, uracil, and thymine are pyrimidine nucleotides.
Detailed explanation-3: -(py-RIH-mih-deen) One of two chemical compounds that cells use to make the building blocks of DNA and RNA. Examples of pyrimidines are cytosine, thymine, and uracil. Cytosine and thymine are used to make DNA and cytosine and uracil are used to make RNA.
Detailed explanation-4: -These chemical bonds act like rungs in a ladder and help hold the two strands of DNA together. There are four nucleotides, or bases, in DNA: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T). These bases form specific pairs (A with T, and G with C).
