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: -Two major purines present in nucleotides are adenine (A) and guanine (G), and three major pyrimidines are thymine (T), cytosine (C), and uracil (U). DNA contains A, T, G, and C, and RNA contains A, U, G, and C as bases.
Detailed explanation-3: -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).
Detailed explanation-4: -It is a pyrimidine derivative, with a heterocyclic aromatic ring and two substituents attached (an amine group at position 4 and a keto group at position 2). The nucleoside of cytosine is cytidine. In Watson-Crick base pairing, it forms three hydrogen bonds with guanine.
