The nitrogen-containing bases in nucleotide are of two types; Purines and Pyrimidines. The purines bases are:
Correct answer: C. Adenine and Guanine
- A. Adenine, Guanine, and Cytosine
- B. Guanine and Cytosine
- C. Adenine and Guanine
- D. Adenine and Thymine
Explanation
Purine bases are adenine and guanine, while pyrimidine bases are thymine, cytosine, and uracil. Option C is the only option that mentions only purine bases, while the others mention a combination of purine and pyrimidine bases.

About Chromosomes
Chromosomes are DNA-protein structures that carry genes and become visible during cell division. Coverage includes chromatin, centromeres, sister chromatids, homologous chromosomes, chromosome number, and the distinction between diploid and haploid cells, with links to DNA replication, mitosis and meiosis.
