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.


What base is missing on RNA and what other base replaces it?

No nitrogen base is missing. You may be referring to the fact that DNA contains the nitrogen base thymine, while RNA contains the nitrogen base uracil. They both contain adenine, cytosine, and guanine.


True or false Only DNA molecules contain the nitrogen base called uracil?

False. Uracil is a nitrogen base found in RNA molecules, not DNA. In DNA, thymine is the equivalent nitrogen base to uracil.


What base is found exclusively in RNA?

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


Which nitrogen base of DNA cahnges?

The nitrogen base thymine in DNA is replaced by the nitrogen base uracil in RNA.


What nitrogen base is found in RNA that pairs with adenine in DNA?

Uracil is the nitrogen base found in RNA that pairs with adenine in DNA.


Three main differences between RNA and DNA?

DNA nucleotides contain the sugar deoxyribose. RNA nucleotides contain the sugar ribose. DNA contains the nitrogen bases adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine. RNA contains the same nitrogen bases, except for thymine. RNA contains the nitrogen base uracil in place of thymine. DNA is a double-stranded molecule, whereas RNA is single-stranded.


Does RNA contain the nitrogen base uracil?

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


What nitrogen containing base found in DNA but not in RNA?

Thymine is the nitrogen-containing base found in DNA but not in RNA. In RNA, thymine is replaced by uracil.


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


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 in RNA is not part of DNA?

uracil is in rna not in DNA
