The bases cytosine (C), thymine (T), and uracil (U), are pyrimidine derivatives. They have a six ringed structure.
IN DNA, the purines adenine (A) and guanine (G) pair up with the pyrimidines thymine (T) and cytosine (C).
Purines have a pyrimidine ring fused to an imidazole ring.
As to the question: No, they do not. They are purines.

Purine base that pairs up with thymine and uracil?
adenine
Does Complementary base pairing always pairs a purine with a pyrimidine?
Yes. Adenine+Guanine, or Cytosine+Thymine; each is a pyrimidine/purine pair.
What are the elements of a nitrogenous base?
A basic compound that contains nitrogen, such as a purine or pyrimidine. A basic compound that contains nitrogen, such as a purine or pyrimidine.
What is the symbol for purine?
The symbol for purines (Guanine / Adenine) is "R" and for pyrimidines (Cytosine / Thymine) is "Y".
What is the base that joins adenine?
adenine is one of the 4 base pairs in a dna structure ,A and T(thymine), and C and G, simple !
Is thymine and guanine both pryimidine bases?
Thymine is a pyrimadine base. Guanine is a purine derivative.
Purine base that pairs up with thymine and uracil?
adenine
How are four bases paired in a molecule DNA?
Adenine(purine)=========thymine(pyrimidine)Guanine(purine)----------------cytosine(pyrimidine)
Thymine into Uracil or vice verse?
Thymine in DNA and uracil in RNA. They are both pyrimidines and are attached to purine adenine.
What are the three pyrimidine bases?
There are 2 groups of nitrogen bases. These are Pyrimidine and Purine. In the Purine group, there are Adenine and Guanine, In the Pyrimidine group, there are Cytosine, Thymine(replaced by Uracil in RNA).

In DNA what bonds with what?
Guanine bonds with cytosine in DNA.
What is the the difference between purines and pyrimidines?
Purine- double-ringed ex: adenine and guanine Pyrimidines- single-ringed ex: cytosine and thymine
What does A stand for in Biochemistry?
A stands for a purine base found in DNA and RNA; it pairs with thymine in DNA and with uracil in RNA
