D. Guanine and adenine
E. Adenine and thymine​

Respuesta :

Answer:

c.Cytosine and uracil

Explanation:

Two types of Nitrogenous bases(heterocyclic aromatic molecules) are found in DNA and RNA: 1.Pyrimidines and 2.Purines

Pyrimidines:Thymine(5-methyl-2,4-dioxypyrimidine) and Cytosine(2-oxy-4-aminopyrimidine) are found in DNA .  Uracil (2,4-dioxypyrimidine) and Cytosine (2-oxy-4-aminopyrimidine) are found in RNA.

Purines:Adenine (6-aminopurine) and Guanine(6-oxy-2-aminopurine) are the two purine bases that are found in both DNA and RNA.
