Does RNA contain the nitrogen base uracil?
NO. RNA contains URACIL while in DNA it is THYMINE, the uracil replaces the 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 DNA contain uracil?
No. Uracil is a pyrimidine that is exclusive to RNA. In DNA, thymine is in place of uracil.
What does DNA contain that RNA doesn't?
A deoxiribose sugar and the base thymine.
What are the three main differences in RNA and DNA?
DNA nucleotides contain the sugar deoxyribose. RNA nucleotides contain the sugar ribose. DNA contains the nitrogen bases adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine. RNA contains the same nitrogen bases, except for thymine. RNA contains the nitrogen base uracil in place of thymine. DNA is a double-stranded molecule, whereas RNA is single-stranded.
What base is found DNA but not in RNA?
Thymine
What are the three main differences between RNA and DNA?
- The sugar in RNA is ribose, and in DNA the sugar is deoxyribose. - RNA is usually single stranded, DNA is double-stranded helix. - RNA contains uracil instead of thymine. DNA does contain thymine. Like thymine, uracil can form a hydrogen bond with adenine. =]

Thymine
Is guanine in DNA or RNA?
Both DNA and RNA contain guanine (G). DNA contains guanine (G) which pairs with cytosine (C), and adenine (A) which pairs with thymine (T). In RNA, T is replaced by uracil (U), so G pairs with C, and A pairs with U. Uracil is an unmethlyated form of thymine.
How do you know if you are looking at a DNA or RNA sequence?
DNA sequences contain the nitrogen bases adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine. RNA sequences contain the nitrogen bases adenine, uracil, cytosine, and guanine. If the sequence contains thymine it is a DNA sequence if it contains uracil it is an RNA sequence.
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.
