Question

What is Cytosine? Where is it located in the DNA? Who is it paired with? What is the role of Cytosine?

Answer 1

cytosine is one of the three pyrimidine nucleobases used in forming nucleotides of the nucleic acid

It is located opposite guanine in the DNA double helix

It pairs with guanine in both DNA and RNA forming three hydrogen bonds

cytosine is one of the nitrogenous bases coding the genetic information molecules carry

It can even be modified into different bases to carry epigenetic information

Answer 2

one of the 4 nucleic acid bases. They connect the two strands of the DNA double strand by means of hydrogen bonds, the principle of so-called complementarity of bases. derived from pyrimidine. It is part of nucleic acids, where it forms a complementary pair with guanine using three hydrogen bonds.
