No it contains uracil instead.
There are only 4 nucleotides ever used in RNA and those are A,G,C,U. There are some cases in where post-transcriptional modification of RNA will allow the enzymes to modify certain nucleotides from U to T. But any primary RNA that is produced will not contain any Thymine.

It's one of the main bases.
Others are Adenine, Cytosine, and Guanine.

What nitrogenous base is not found on DNA but is found on RNA?
Thymine is not found in RNA. It is instead replaced by Uracil.
Which type of mRNA nucleotide pairs thymine in the DNA strand?
Adenosine
Why can't the mRNA base sequence ATC be a codon?
RNA uses Uracil (U) in place of Thymine (T). Thymine is exclusive to DNA.
What does the U stand for in a RNA strand?
The process is called DNA Transciption. It is when the DNA is copied into mRNA using base pairing - Adenine to Thymine, Guanine to Cytosine. Only the problem here is that when using mRNA, Thymine is replaced with a different nucleotide represented by a U. This is what we need the answer for. Its Uracil...
What does DNA have that RNA does not have?
its uracil
What base does mRNA have that DNA does not?
Uracil replaces Thymine as a base in mRNA.
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
What nitrogen base replaces adenine in mRNA?
This is the tricky one to remember: RNA nucleic acids contain uracil and not thymine. On DNA, adenine pairs with thymine, but on RNA, adenine pairs with uracil.
In the synthesis of mRNA an adenine in the DNA pairs with?
Thymine.
In the synthesis of mRNA an adenine in the DNA pairs with what?
Thymine.
What is the name of the molecule that replaces thymine in mRNA?
Uracil
Which RNA has thymine?
uracil but that's in rna its thymine in DNA
What nitrogenous base is not found on DNA but is found on RNA?
Thymine is not found in RNA. It is instead replaced by Uracil.
How do you write the complementary strand and mRNA strand for atggacaaactcaactca?
comp : tacctgtttgagttgagt mrna : uaccuguuugaguugagu For comp: just go opposite, c is opposite of g, and a is opposite of t For Mrna: do the same except when you would have a t(thymine) make it a u(uracil) since mrna doesnt have any thymine in it.
Which type of mRNA nucleotide pairs thymine in the DNA strand?
Adenosine
