It's uracil, which replaces thymine in RNA.

One DNA base not normally present in RNA is?

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.


Does RNA has the nitrogen base thymine?

In RNA, there are four kinds of base: adenine, guanine, cytosine and uracil. There are no thymine bases. Therefore, there are no thymine and adenine base pairs. Addtional answer: The complimentary base of adenine in RNA is uracil which is a unmenthylated form of thymine. When menthylation occurs it becomes thymine which is paired with adenine in DNA. Thymine can also be called 5-methyluracil because it becomes thymine when methylation of uracil occurs at the 5th carbon.


Which RNA base bonded with the Thymine?

In RNA, the nitrogenous bases change and there is no longer Thymine, instead Uracil replaces Thymine but it bonds with the same base pair ( Adenine) as it would in DNA. In other words DNA base pairs are : Adenine- Thymine, Guanine-Cytosine. RNA base pairs are : Adenine- Uracil, Guanine-Cytosine.


Thymine into Uracil or vice verse?

Thymine can be converted into uracil through a process called deamination, where the methyl group on thymine is removed to form uracil. This process is carried out by enzymes called deaminases. Conversely, uracil can be converted into thymine by adding a methyl group to uracil, a process facilitated by enzymes called methyltransferases.


The DNA sequence of a gene changed from AACTTG to AACATG. What kind of mutation occurred.?

The DNA sequence of gene that change AACTTG to AACATG are called missense mutation. This is known as a process.

Rna is chemically similar to DNA except that its sugars have an additional oxygen atom and the base thymine is replace by a structurally similar base called?

The base that replaces thymine in RNA is called uracil. Uracil is structurally similar to thymine but lacks a methyl group. This difference allows RNA to play a complementary role during gene expression as well as in other cellular processes.

Does mRNA use thymine or adenine in its genetic code?

It will use adenine, but thymine will be replaced by a nitrogen base called "uracil" in mRNA


Adenine will only bond with one specific base in DNA strand what is it called?

Adenine only binds with Thymine, and Guanine only binds to Cytosine in DNA. In RNA however,Thymine is replaced with Uracil which binds to Adenine.


What is the fear of being replaced called?

There is no particular phobia for being replaced, but there are similar phobias that are similar: Autophobia - fear of being alone or by oneself. Metathesiophobia - fear of changes.

What are the nucleotides called that pair with thymine in DNA?

Adenine always pairs with thymine in DNA.

Which nucleotides are uses to build DNA?

The nucleotides used to build DNA are Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine, and Thymine. For RNA, there is no Thymine; it is replaced with another nucleotide called Uracil. These are actually the names of the nitrogenous bases that nucleotides contain. A nucleotide is made up of a Deoxyribose Sugar, a Phosphate Molecule, and a Nitrogenous Base. We refer to them though by the name of their nitrogenous base.
