Best Answer

In RNA, the nitrogenous base of U (Uracil) is in place of T (Thymine) in DNA.

Where do you find Uracil?

In Rna: it replaces T (in Dna) for U (in Rna).


What are the base pairings for DNA and RNA?

DNA has A-T and C-G while RNA has A-U and C-G


What is the one letter that is different from DNA in the RNA code?

RNA uses Uracil (U) in place of T (thymine) in DNA.


How are the bases in RNA paired with the bases in DNA?

First of all, the only RNA, that attaches to DNA is mRNA (messenger RNA), and it matches, Adenine from DNA and Uracil from RNA; Thymine from DNA with Adenine from RNA; Cytosine from DNA and Guanine from RNA; Guanine from DNA Cytosine and from RNA. * Also, mRNA complements the left half of DNA, for example if DNA's left half was (A = adenine, T = thymine**, G = guanine, C= cytosine, U = Uracil**) **Uracil is found only RNA **Thymine is found only in DNA A T G G C A T Then mRNA would be: U A C C G U A so overall DNA : mRNA A : U T : A G : C G : C C : G A : U T : A


What is U in DNA?

The U stands for uracil. But remember, that uracil is only in RNA. In DNA the U is replaced with T (thymine).


When do you use u in a DNA sequence?

Never - Uracil is only found in RNA. The four bases of DNA are A, T, G and C. In RNA, U replaces T.


What basepairing is found in DNA and RNA?

The Complementary base pairing of DNA is A with T and C with G. In Rna, T is replaced with U.

What is in RNA but not in RNA?

RNA is single stranded and has Uracil instead of Thymine.DNA is double stranded and has Thymine, not Uracil.


How are DNA and RNA simular?

DNA: deoxyribonucleic acid RNA: ribonucleic acid Both DNA and RNA are polymers of nucleotides. They both contain a sugar-phosphate backbone (deoxyribose sugar in DNA, ribose sugar in RNA) and they both contain A, G, and C nitrogenous bases (additionally, T in DNA and U in RNA).

Does dna and RNA have nitrogenous bases?

Both DNA and RNA have nitrogenous bases. The nitrogenous bases in DNA are adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G). The nitrogenous bases in RNA are adenine (A), uracil (U), cytosine (C), and guanine (G). In DNA, A and T pair together, as does C and G. In RNA, C and G also pair together, but A pairs with U because U replaces T in RNA.
