The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Purines and Pyrimidines**: - In nucleic acids, there are two types of nitrogenous bases: purines and pyrimidines. - Purines are larger, double-ring structures, while pyrimidines are smaller, single-ring structures. 2. **Identifying Purines in RNA**: - The two purines found in both DNA and RNA are adenine (A) and guanine (G). - In RNA, adenine pairs with uracil (U) instead of thymine (T), which is found in DNA. 3. **Listing the Purines**: - Therefore, the purines present in RNA are: - **Adenine (A)** - **Guanine (G)** 4. **Conclusion**: - The answer to the question "Purines of RNA are?" is adenine and guanine.
