Base pair in RNA

RNA has four different base pairs. Adenine, cytosine, uracil, and guanine are the base pairs. These base pairs are made when a transcription initiation complex moves along DNA, unzips it, and creates RNA. Unlike DNA, RNA is one stranded and the base pair thymine is not present. Instead, uracil bonds with adenine.

Every DNA molecule has two strands, so in effect two sequences that are complementary to one another. One strand of DNA is called the coding strand, the other the template strand. When a new RNA molecule is made, the DNA double helix is opened up and RNA polymerase runs down the template strand and synthesizes the RNA molecule complementary to it. Therefore, the RNA sequence will be complementary to the DNA template strand and identical to the DNA coding strand (with the exception of course that all the T's will be replaced with U's).

It would have the complementary sequence to that of the DNA template strand from which it is transcribed from except that instead of Thiamine, u will have Uracil bases.
