Which of the following best describes cytosine? Correct Answer pyrimidine, present in RNA and DNA

Bases (nitrogen containing heterocyclic compounds) are of two types. Those that have a single ring are purines, and those that have two fused rings are pyrimidines. Adenine, guanine and cytosine are present in both RNA and DNA.
