The nucleotides used to build DNA are Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine, and Thymine. For RNA, there is no Thymine; it is replaced with another nucleotide called Uracil. These are actually the names of the nitrogenous bases that nucleotides contain. A nucleotide is made up of a Deoxyribose Sugar, a Phosphate Molecule, and a Nitrogenous Base. We refer to them though by the name of their nitrogenous base.

Do the rna nucleotides pair exactly as they were DNA replication?

No, RNA nucleotides in transcription pair with complementary DNA nucleotides according to the base pairing rules (A-U, G-C), as opposed to replicating DNA in which DNA nucleotides pair with complementary DNA nucleotides (A-T, G-C).


What are found in the DNA?

DNA nucleotides. Note that adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine are NOT nucleotides, but they are only the bases which make the nucleotides different.
