Ready to dive into the world of genetics? Let's see if you can match the dance partners correctly! Which two bases are the elegant purines, and which two are the charming pyrimidines?

• Adenine and Guanine; Cytosine and Thymine

• Cytosine and Thymine; Adenine and Guanine

• Adenine and Cytosine; Guanine and Thymine

• Guanine and Thymine; Adenine and Cytosine

Let's dive into the world of genetics! Can you spot the key difference between purines and pyrimidines?

• Purines are like solo artists with a single-ringed structure, while pyrimidines are like dynamic duos with a double-ringed structure.

• Both purines and pyrimidines rock the stage with double-ringed structures.

• Purines are the power duos with double-ringed structures, while pyrimidines prefer to go solo with a single-ringed structure.

• There's no difference at all! Purines and pyrimidines are like identical twins in structure.

Let's dive into the world of DNA! Can you match the dance partners in the DNA dance floor? Who twirls around with whom in this molecular ballroom?

• Adenine steps with Guanine, and Cytosine swings with Thymine

• Adenine pairs up with Thymine (or Uracil in RNA), and Cytosine grooves with Guanine

• Adenine matches with Cytosine, and Guanine pairs with Thymine

• Adenine dances alone, and Cytosine boogies solo
