. What is the difference between thymine and thymidine? (1pt) Solution 1) Thymine is one of the pyrimidine nitrogen base present in nucleic acids. It is present in DNA, absent in RNA instead Uracil is present. When a nitrogenous base Thymine is linked to a pentose sugar, a nucleoside is formed that is Thymidine. The nucleosides of DNA are commonly referred to as deoxynucleosides ( deoxythymidine). When a phosphate group is added to a nucleoside a nucleotide is formed. when thymidine is phosphorylated with one, two or three phosphate groups it forms thymidine mono, di or triphosphates (dTMP, dTDP & dTTP) correspondingly.
