1. They are single ring compounds with 6- members.
2. It has nitrogen atom at 1′ and 3′ positions.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
3. They are three types, viz. cytosine, thymine and uracil.
4. They occupy less space in DNA Structure.
5. The pyrimidine is linked with deoxyribose sugar at position 3.
Purines:
1. They are double ring- compounds with 9- members.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
2. It has a nitrogen atom at 1₵, 3₵, It and 9₵ positions.
3. They are of two types, viz. adenine and guanine.
4. They occupy more space in DNA Structure.
5. Deoxyribose is linked at position 9 of purine.
