One difference between DNA and RNA is that DNA has a nitrogen base pyrimidine thymine that connects with purine adenine. In RNA, thymine is replaced by another pyrimidine called uracil.
Thymine.
each base can can attach to only one other type of base.
Adenine normally partners with thymine in DNA.
It's base sequence
In DNA thymine is one of the nitrogen bases, but in RNA uracil replaces thymine still leaving four nitrogen bases
If one strand of DNA has a nucleotide base sequence of tcaggtccat, its complementary strand is agtccaggta. Adenine pairs with thymine, while guanine pairs with cytosine.
prokaryotic DNA is simplar one(less base pairs are present).where as eukaryotic DNA is complex one(more base pairs are present).
in DNA, each base pairs up with only one other base

Nucleic acids are composed of nucleotide monomers. Nucloeotide has parts: 1.Nitrogenous base: .Adenine.Guanine.Cytosine.Thymine(present in DNA only).Uracil (present in RNA only) 2.5-carbon sugar which is called deoxyribose (found in DNA) and ribose (found in RNA). 3.One or more phosphate groups

It's base sequence
DNA- A, T, G, C RNA- U, T, G, C Just one base is different, uracil
Base pairing rules and complementary base rules are related because of DNA. If one can find the base pairing on a strand of DNA, usually the complementary base is easily found.
