Cytosine. Computer artwork of a molecule of cytosine (2-oxy-4-aminopyrimidine). This is a pyrimidine-derived nucleic acid found in RNA (ribonucleic acid) and DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). The atoms shown as cylinders are colour coded: carbon (green),nitrogen (blue),hydrogen (white) and oxygen (red). Cytosine is one of the four bases found in RNA (along with adenine,uracil and guanine) and in DNA (with thymine,adenine,and guanine) . The positioning of these bases along the RNA and DNA chains is known as the genetic code. Each genetic code is unique and gives organisms their individual characteristics | |
