Question 6

Which of the following is a pyrimidine found in both DNA and RNA?

Accepted Answer

Cytosine (C)

Question 7

During transcription, which base replaces thymine in the RNA transcript?

Accepted Answer

Uracil (U)

Question 8

Which of the following correctly matches the nitrogen base with its family?

Accepted Answer

Guanine – Purine

Question 9

A mutation replaces a thymine with a uracil in a DNA molecule. What is the most likely consequence?
