Which of the following specific nitrogenous bases strictly and chemically belongs to the Pyrimidine Biomolecules Chemistry Question

Question

Which of the following specific nitrogenous bases strictly and chemically belongs to the Pyrimidine structural heterocyclic class and is simultaneously found prominently and natively occurring in stable DNA?

Answer: C

💡 Solution & Explanation

Pyrimidines are strictly single-ringed nitrogenous bases. Cytosine ($C$), Thymine ($T$), and Uracil ($U$) represent the pyrimidines. However, Uracil is exclusively localized within RNA molecules. Thymine is the exact pyrimidine firmly native exclusively to DNA structure. Adenine and Guanine are double-ring purines.
