Best Answer

The nitrogenous base found in DNA but not RNA is called thymine. RNA contains the base uracil which during transcription(when genetic information is copied from DNA to RNA) pairs with the base adenine in DNA. So, DNA has four nitrogenous bases: (A) adenine, (C) cytosine, G (guanine), and T (thymine). And RNA has four nitrogenous bases: (A) adenine, (C) cytosine, G (guanine) and U (uracil)

Uracil is the nitrogen base that is not found in DNA. Instead uracil can be found in the nucleic acid of RNA.

What is the only difference between the four nucleotides?

All of the four nucleotides have a nitrogenous base. Adenine: has a double ring, nitrogenous base and found in DNA and RNA Thymine:single ring with nitrogenous base. ONLY FOUND IN RNA. not DNA. that is a difference from the rest of the three nucleotides. Cytosine: single ring with nitrogenous base, found in both DNA and RNA Guanine: double ring with nitrogenous base, found in DNA and RNA. also i guess you can say there is another difference with the double and single rings.
