uracil
During transcription, uracil is the nucleotide base that is incorporated into RNA but is not found in DNA. In RNA, uracil replaces thymine, which is present in DNA. This substitution occurs as RNA polymerase synthesizes RNA from the DNA template, pairing uracil with adenine.
deoxythymidinetriphosphate (dTTP) is the nucleotide in DNA that is not present in RNA. The corresponding base is thymine (T). RNA contains the nucleotide uridinetriphosphate (UTP) instead. In their incorporated forms, the will be in the monophosphate state.Note: Someone previously changed this to read "Deoxythymine is the nucleotide in DNA that is not present in RNA. The corresponding Rna base is Uracil." While they had good intentions, this represents several common errors in molecular Biology. "Deoxythymine" does not exist as a nucleotide (or anything at all for that matter). The nucleoside is called deoxythymidine. If a nucleoside such as deoxythymidine is paired with one or more phosphate groups, it is then a nucleotide.
In RNA, the nucleotide that is complementary to thymine (T) is adenine (A). While thymine is present in DNA, RNA uses uracil (U) instead of thymine. Therefore, when pairing with adenine in RNA, thymine's complement is uracil.

No, it is not found in DNA, thought it is found in RNA.

A nucleotide polymer is a long chain made up of nucleotide units bonded together. Each nucleotide consists of a nitrogenous base, a sugar molecule, and a phosphate group. Nucleotide polymers form the backbone of DNA and RNA molecules.
