Which of the following base pairs are found in RNA?
A
Guanine and Thymine
B
Adenine and Uracil
C
Cytosine and Thymine
D
Adenine and Thymine
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that RNA is a nucleic acid similar to DNA, but it has some differences in its structure and base pairing.
Recall that RNA contains four nitrogenous bases: Adenine (A), Uracil (U), Cytosine (C), and Guanine (G).
Recognize that in RNA, Adenine pairs with Uracil, unlike in DNA where Adenine pairs with Thymine.
Identify that Cytosine pairs with Guanine in both RNA and DNA.
Review the given options and identify which base pairs are possible in RNA based on the base pairing rules: Adenine and Uracil is the correct pair found in RNA.
