The nitrogen base uracil is not present in DNA. It is only present in RNA and is used as a substitute for thymine

No, they contain Uracil instead


Does DNA or RNA contain uracil?

Yes, RNA contains uracil, while DNA does not.


Does DNA contain uracil?

No. Uracil is a pyrimidine that is exclusive to RNA. In DNA, thymine is in place of uracil.


Does RNA contain thymine or uracil in its nucleotide structure?

RNA contains uracil in its nucleotide structure, not thymine.


Does mRNA contain uracil or thymine in its nucleotide sequence?

mRNA contains uracil in its nucleotide sequence, not thymine.


3 DNA does NOT contain the nitrogen base?

DNA does not contain uracil. RNA does!! DNA contains guanine binds with Thymine in DNA RNA contains guanine that binds with uracil DNA does not contain uracil. RNA does!! DNA contains guanine binds with Thymine in DNA RNA contains guanine that binds with uracil


Does trna contain uracil?

Yes, tRNA (transfer RNA) contains uracil. In the structure of tRNA, uracil replaces thymine, which is found in DNA. This presence of uracil is part of what distinguishes RNA from DNA, as RNA typically contains uracil instead of thymine.


Does RNA contain uracil in its nucleotide sequence?

Yes, RNA contains uracil in its nucleotide sequence instead of thymine, which is found in DNA.


What nucleotide replaces thymine?

Uracil replaces Thymine in DNA. Adenine and Thymine go together while Cytosine and Guanine go with each other in DNA. But, in RNA, Thymine is replaces with Uracil. So not Adenine and Uracil go together, while Cytosine and Guanine pair up.


Do anticodons utilize urasil?

Yes, some anticodons contain uracil. In mRNA, uracil pairs with adenine, while in tRNA anticodons, uracil pairs with adenine in the corresponding codon during translation.


True or false Only DNA molecules contain the nitrogen base called uracil?

False. Uracil is a nitrogen base found in RNA molecules, not DNA. In DNA, thymine is the equivalent nitrogen base to uracil.
