A stylized structural diagram illustrates cytosine, a pyrimidine nucleobase (C) shown as a six-membered heterocycle with a carbonyl at C2 and an exocyclic amine at C4. In the biological hierarchy, this small molecule forms nucleotides within nucleic acid polymers (DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid; and RNA, ribonucleic acid). In biochemistry and molecular genetics, cytosine base-pairs with guanine (G, guanine) via hydrogen bonding, enabling accurate encoding and transmission of genetic information.
