Understand the process of transcription, where RNA is synthesized from a DNA template. During this process, the bases in RNA pair with complementary bases in DNA.
Recall the base pairing rules: In DNA, adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T), and cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G).
In RNA, thymine (T) is replaced by uracil (U). Therefore, when RNA is being synthesized, adenine (A) in DNA pairs with uracil (U) in RNA.
Identify the correct base pairing for the given options: The RNA base uracil (U) pairs with the DNA base adenine (A).
Conclude that the correct answer is 'U; A', meaning uracil in RNA pairs with adenine in DNA during transcription.
