Identify the name of above nitrogen base.

Identify the name of above nitrogen base.
Identify the name of above nitrogen base.

Options

  1. ACytosine
  2. BUracil
  3. CThymine
  4. DGuanine

Correct answer

B. Uracil

Step-by-step solution

Based on the provided chemical structure:

1. The molecule is a single six-membered heterocyclic ring containing two nitrogen atoms, which identifies it as a pyrimidine base.
2. It has two carbonyl (−C=O-C=O) groups at positions 2 and 4, making it a 2,4-dioxopyrimidine.
3. There is no methyl group at the 5th position, which distinguishes it from thymine (5-methyluracil).
4. There is no amino group, which distinguishes it from cytosine (4-amino-2-hydroxypyrimidine).
5. Guanine is a purine base (consisting of two fused rings), so it can be ruled out immediately.

Therefore, the given structure is Uracil, which is a nitrogenous base found in RNA.

Answer: Uracil
