RNA does not contain the nitrogen base thymine. There are four nitrogen bases in RNA; adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil.

Does DNA or RNA contain thymine?

No, RNA does not contain thymine. Thymine is a nitrogenous base found in DNA, but in RNA, thymine is replaced by uracil.


Does RNA contain thymine, or is it exclusively found in DNA?

RNA does not contain thymine; thymine is exclusively found in DNA.


Does RNA contain thymine or uracil in its nucleotide structure?

RNA contains uracil in its nucleotide structure, not thymine.


Does DNA contain uracil?

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


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


Which RNA has thymine?

uracil but that's in rna its thymine in DNA


Does RNA contain the nitrogen base uracil?

NO. RNA contains URACIL while in DNA it is THYMINE, the uracil replaces the thymine.


Is thymine present in RNA?

No, thymine is not present in RNA. RNA contains uracil instead of thymine.


Differences of RNA and DNA?

1. RNA have the base uracil whereas DNA have the base thymine. 2. RNA contain ribose sugar residues whereas DNA contain deoxyribose sugar residues. 3. RNA are single-stranded whereas DNA are double-stranded.


What base is found DNA but not in RNA?

Thymine


Does RNA has the nitrogen base thymine?

In RNA, there are four kinds of base: adenine, guanine, cytosine and uracil. There are no thymine bases. Therefore, there are no thymine and adenine base pairs. Addtional answer: The complimentary base of adenine in RNA is uracil which is a unmenthylated form of thymine. When menthylation occurs it becomes thymine which is paired with adenine in DNA. Thymine can also be called 5-methyluracil because it becomes thymine when methylation of uracil occurs at the 5th carbon.


Can RNA have thymine in its structure"?

No, RNA does not have thymine in its structure.
