cytosine

As nouns the difference between adenosine and cytosine

is that adenosine is adenosine while cytosine is (biochemistry) a base, c₄h₅n₃o, which pairs with guanine in dna and rna.

As nouns the difference between cytosine and uracil

is that cytosine is a base, C₄H₅N₃O, which pairs with guanine in DNA and RNA while uracil is one of the bases of RNA. It pairs with adenine and is symbolised by U.
