What does enzyme dpd do in the body?
DPD is the rate limiting enzyme involved in the catabolism of pyrimidines like thymidine and uracil. DPD is also the main enzyme involved in the degradation of structurally related compounds like 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU), a widely used anticancer drug.
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.
What nitrogen base replaces thymine (T) in RNA?
RNA and DNA both share the nitrogen bases adenine (A), cytosine (C), and guanine (G).
What has nitrogenous base uracil?
RNA has nitrogenous bas uracil
Adenine complements with what in DNA RNA?
In DNA: Adenine base pairs with Thyamine A=T In RNA: Adenine base pairs with Uracil A=U
What is the name of that nucleic acid that also serves as enzyme?
Both uracil and guanine act as coenzymes. They are also inportant in DNA and RNA.

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.
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.
Why does DNA have thymine when RNA has uracil?
Cytosine bases may spontaneously change into uracil bases. DNA has an enzyme asssociated with it that corrects this fault. If DNA contained uracil as a base, the repair enzyme would have no way of distinguishing between uracils normally present in the DNA code and uracils that had formed from cytosine. Therefore thymine is present instead of uracil.
What nitrogen base replaces thymine (T) in RNA?
RNA and DNA both share the nitrogen bases adenine (A), cytosine (C), and guanine (G).
What does uracil pair with in the genetic code?
Uracil replaces thymine in RNA so uracil bonds with adenosine
Is uracil a DNA or a NA?
Uracil is a base in RNA
What has nitrogenous base uracil?
RNA has nitrogenous bas uracil
Is DNA composed of uracil?
No, only RNA contains uracil.
Adenine complements with what in DNA RNA?
In DNA: Adenine base pairs with Thyamine A=T In RNA: Adenine base pairs with Uracil A=U
What are the nitrogenous bases in RNA?
Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, and Uracil
