The base "uracil" is not found in the structure of DNA, but rather in RNA, as uracil replaces thymine in RNA.
No, DNA does not use uracil in its structure. Uracil is a nitrogenous base found in RNA, while DNA uses thymine instead.
RNA is single-stranded, while DNA is double-stranded. RNA contains the sugar ribose, while DNA contains deoxyribose. RNA has the base uracil instead of thymine found in DNA.
The structure of DNA was found by Francis Crick and James Watson in 1953.

The base pairs found in DNA are adenine with thymine, and cytosine with guanine.

The component of APT (adenosine triphosphate) that is also found in DNA and RNA is the nucleotide base adenine. In both DNA and RNA, adenine pairs with thymine (in DNA) or uracil (in RNA) during the formation of base pairs. Additionally, both DNA and RNA consist of a sugar and phosphate backbone, similar to the structure of ATP.
Uracil is not naturally present in DNA. Instead, it is found in RNA, where it replaces the thymine base found in DNA. Thymine is the corresponding base in DNA and is not found in RNA.
