Detailed explanation-1: -Final answer: Purines found both in DNA and RNA are adenine and guanine.
Detailed explanation-2: -Both DNA and RNA have four nitrogenous bases each-three of which they share (Cytosine, Adenine, and Guanine) and one that differs between the two (RNA has Uracil while DNA has Thymine).
Detailed explanation-3: -Guanine, along with adenine and cytosine, is present in both DNA and RNA, whereas thymine is usually seen only in DNA, and uracil only in RNA.
Detailed explanation-4: -Both DNA and RNA are made from nucleotides, each containing a five-carbon sugar backbone, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen base.
Detailed explanation-5: -Cytosine (/ˈsaɪtəˌsiːn, -ˌziːn, -ˌsɪn/) (symbol C or Cyt) is one of the four nucleobases found in DNA and RNA, along with adenine, guanine, and thymine (uracil in RNA).
