Q. Which purine base is found in RNA?

AIPMTAIPMT 1996Biomolecules

Solution:

The bases are of two types-purines and pyrimidines. The purine derivatives adenine (A) and guanine (G) are double ring structures whereas pyrimidine derivatives thymine, cytosine and uracil are single ring structures. Thymine (T) and cytosine (C) are found in DNA and cytosine (C) and uracil (U) is found in RNA.
