Which of the Following Includes All of the Pyrimidines Found

Question

Which of the following includes all of the pyrimidines found in RNA and DNA?
A)cytosine and uracil
B)cytosine and thymine
C)cytosine, uracil, and thymine
D)cytosine, uracil, and guanine
E)adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine, and uracil

Accepted Answer

Pyrimidines are a type of nitrogenous base found in nucleic acids. In RNA, the pyrimidines are cytosine and uracil, while in DNA, they are cytosine and thymine. Therefore, the complete list of pyrimidines found in both RNA and DNA is cytosine, uracil, and thymine.
