Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Understand that DNA and RNA are both nucleic acids composed of nitrogenous bases, sugars, and phosphate groups, but they differ in some bases.
Recall that DNA contains the bases adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C).
Know that RNA contains adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), but instead of thymine (T), it has a different base.
Identify that the base in RNA that replaces thymine (T) is uracil (U).
Conclude that in RNA, uracil (U) pairs with adenine (A) during base pairing, taking the place of thymine found in DNA.
