Does a gene contain uracil?

The nitrogen base uracil is not present in DNA. It is only present in RNA and is used as a substitute for thymine


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.


What does RNA usually contain besides thymine?

RNA does not contain the nitrogen base thymine. There are four nitrogen bases in RNA; adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil.


3 DNA does NOT contain the nitrogen base?

DNA does not contain uracil. RNA does!! DNA contains guanine binds with Thymine in DNA RNA contains guanine that binds with uracil DNA does not contain uracil. RNA does!! DNA contains guanine binds with Thymine in DNA RNA contains guanine that binds with uracil


Does RNA contain the nitrogen base uracil?

NO. RNA contains URACIL while in DNA it is THYMINE, the uracil replaces the thymine.


Which nitrogen base is missing in DNA?

Uracil is the nitrogen base that is missing in DNA. In DNA, thymine replaces uracil as one of the four nitrogen bases.


What is a molecule found in all DNA and RNA bases?

The nitrogen bases themselves are molecules. DNA and RNA both contain the nitrogen bases adenine, guanine, and cytosine. DNA contains the nitrogen base thymine, while RNA contains the nitrogen base uracil instead.


What nitrogen base does RNA contain?

RNA contains four nitrogenous bases; Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine and Uracil.


What is a nitrogen base that is found only in RNA but not DNA?

The nitrogen containing base that is found only in RNA is uracil. It takes the place of thymine in DNA


What elements form a nitrogen base?

A nitrogen base is formed from nitrogen atoms and other elements such as carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. These elements are arranged into specific structures like adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine, and uracil, which are key components of DNA and RNA molecules.


What base is found exclusively in RNA?

RNA does not contain deoyribose, as DNA does, but instead uses ribose.


What does uracil replace in RNA molecules?

Uracil replaces thymine in RNA molecules.
