Uracil. Uracil is not present in DNA, but it is present in RNA. DNA's "equivalent" base is thymine, meaning when DNA is transcribed into RNA, the places where thymine would go instead has uracil.

Thymine.

Because it is going to copy into a mRNA and RNA only contains C,G,A,U.

Instead of DNA which contains C,G,A,T.
