What is the base of RNA in place of thymine which bonds with adenine?

The nitrogen base uracil takes the place of thymine in RNA. So in RNA, uracil pairs with adenine.


Which nitrogen base is not used during replication?

Uracil. Uracil is not present in DNA, but it is present in RNA. DNA's "equivalent" base is thymine, meaning when DNA is transcribed into RNA, the places where thymine would go instead has uracil.


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.


What is in RNA but not in DNA?

Uracil


What does uracil pair with in the genetic code?

Uracil replaces thymine in RNA so uracil bonds with adenosine

Does RNA contain uracil?

Yes, RNA contains 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.
