Pyrimidines:Thymine(5-methyl-2,4-dioxypyrimidine) and Cytosine(2-oxy-4-aminopyrimidine) are found in DNA .  Uracil (2,4-dioxypyrimidine) and Cytosine (2-oxy-4-aminopyrimidine) are found in RNA.

Purines:Adenine (6-aminopurine) and Guanine(6-oxy-2-aminopurine) are the two purine bases that are found in both DNA and RNA.
