This question has three parts:

A)Describe the similarities and differences of purines and pyrimidines.
B)List the specific bases in each category that are important in nucleic acids.
C)Describe their interactions in DNA and RNA.
A) A purine is a molecule that consists of a five-membered and a six-membered ring structure joined at one side with four carbon atoms replaced by nitrogen.A pyrimidine is a six-membered ring structure in which two carbons are replaced by nitrogen atoms.
B) The specific purines found in nucleic acids are adenine and guanine;each of these has different functional groups on the ring structure.The specific pyrimidines found in nucleic acids are cytosine,thymine,and uracil.As in purines,each of these has specific functional groups on the ring structure.
C) In DNA,these bases interact by forming hydrogen bonds: thymine and adenine form two hydrogen bonds,and cytosine and guanine form three hydrogen bonds,except in RNA,uracil replaces thymine.Each of these base pairs is about the same size,allowing their interactions to join two separate strands of DNA with a constant distance between the sugar-phosphate backbones.Hydrogen bonds allow the two-stranded molecule to be reasonably sturdy,but to be able to separate without a prohibitive expenditure of energy.Similar interactions between the bases occur in transcription,when DNA produces RNA.
