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.


Are adenine and uracil base pairs?

Yes, it pairs with it in mRNA (messenger RNA) synthesis. A-U and C-G. mRNA is made when a gene is expressed (protein is made)


What nucleotide replaces thymine?

Uracil replaces Thymine in DNA. Adenine and Thymine go together while Cytosine and Guanine go with each other in DNA. But, in RNA, Thymine is replaces with Uracil. So not Adenine and Uracil go together, while Cytosine and Guanine pair up.


What is in RNA but not in DNA?

Uracil


Why does RNA have uracil instead of thymine in its nucleotide structure?

RNA has uracil instead of thymine in its nucleotide structure because during the process of transcription, RNA is made by copying the DNA template. Uracil is used in RNA instead of thymine because uracil can easily pair with adenine, just like thymine does in DNA, allowing for accurate replication of genetic information.


What does uracil pair with in the genetic code?

Uracil replaces thymine in RNA so uracil bonds with adenosine


What nitrogen base replaces thymine (T) in RNA?

RNA and DNA both share the nitrogen bases adenine (A), cytosine (C), and guanine (G).


Is uracil a DNA or a NA?

Uracil is a base in RNA


Is DNA composed of uracil?

No, only RNA contains uracil.


Does RNA contain uracil?

Yes, RNA contains uracil.


What does uracil replace in RNA?

Uracil replaces thymine in RNA.


Does trna contain uracil?

Yes, tRNA (transfer RNA) contains uracil. In the structure of tRNA, uracil replaces thymine, which is found in DNA. This presence of uracil is part of what distinguishes RNA from DNA, as RNA typically contains uracil instead of thymine.
