Thymine is one of the four possible bases which, when attached to a phosphate group and a molecule of deoxyribose, forms a nucleotide; nucleotides are the monomer units of DNA.

Which base is found on DNA nucleotides but not rna nucleotides?

Thymine is found on DNA nucleotides but not on RNA nucleotides. In RNA, thymine is replaced by uracil.


What are the four nitrogen bases that are found in the nucleotides of DNA?

The four nitrogen bases found in DNA nucleotides are adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G). Adenine pairs with thymine, and cytosine pairs with guanine in DNA double helix structure.


What monomers are found in DNA and RNA?

In DNA, the monomers are nucleotides which consist of a phosphate group, a deoxyribose sugar, and one of the four nitrogenous bases: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), or thymine (T). In RNA, the monomers are also nucleotides but with ribose sugar and the base uracil (U) instead of thymine.


Which of the nucleotides occurs in DNA molecules but not in RNA molecules?

Thymine is a nucleotide that occurs in DNA molecules but not in RNA molecules. In RNA, thymine is replaced by uracil.


Does DNA consists of five different nucleotides and does RNA consists of four different nucleotides?

No, first of in total, both RNA and DNA combined have five nucleotides, DNA and RNA, both consists of three of the same nucleotides, and have one that varies between the two. Both DNA and RNA, have the nucleotides, guanine, cytosine and adenine, however DNA, has the additional nucleotide thymine and RNA instead of thymine has uracil. So, DNA's nucleotides are guanine, cytosine, adenine and thymine, while RNA's are guanine, cytosine, adenine and uracil. To specifically answer the question, no DNA consists of four different nucleotides and RNA consists of three of the same nucleotides, with one differing.
