RNA contains uracil instead of thymine because uracil is more stable in the presence of oxygen, which is abundant in the cell's cytoplasm where RNA functions. Thymine is more prone to damage from oxygen, so uracil is used in RNA to ensure its stability and proper functioning.
What else can I help you with?
Does RNA contain the nitrogen base uracil?
NO. RNA contains URACIL while in DNA it is THYMINE, the uracil replaces the thymine.
Does RNA contain uracil in its nucleotide sequence?
Yes, RNA contains uracil in its nucleotide sequence instead of thymine, which is found in DNA.
What is the base of RNA in place of thymine which bonds with adenine?
The nitrogen base uracil takes the place of thymine in RNA. So in RNA, uracil pairs with adenine.
Does RNA contain thymine or uracil in its nucleotide structure?
RNA contains uracil in its nucleotide structure, not thymine.
The bases of RNA are the same as those of DNA with the exception that RNA contains?
uracil instead of thymine.
Does RNA contain the nitrogen base uracil?
NO. RNA contains URACIL while in DNA it is THYMINE, the uracil replaces the thymine.
Does RNA contain uracil in its nucleotide sequence?
Yes, RNA contains uracil in its nucleotide sequence instead of thymine, which is found in DNA.

Does RNA contain thymine or uracil in its nucleotide structure?
RNA contains uracil in its nucleotide structure, not thymine.

uracil instead of thymine.
Is thymine present in RNA?
No, thymine is not present in RNA. RNA contains uracil instead of thymine.
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
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.
Does DNA or RNA contain thymine?
No, RNA does not contain thymine. Thymine is a nitrogenous base found in DNA, but in RNA, thymine is replaced by uracil.
Does DNA contain uracil?
No. Uracil is a pyrimidine that is exclusive to RNA. In DNA, thymine is in place of uracil.
What base is found exclusively in RNA?
RNA does not contain deoyribose, as DNA does, but instead uses ribose.
What does RNA have instead of thymine in its nucleotide structure?
RNA has uracil instead of thymine in its nucleotide structure.
