  • RNA vs. DNA: Understanding the Difference in Bases (Uracil vs. Thymine)
    The base missing on RNA is thymine (T), and it is replaced by uracil (U).

    Here's a breakdown:

    * DNA: Contains the bases adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T).

    * RNA: Contains the bases adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and uracil (U).

    Uracil pairs with adenine in RNA, just as thymine pairs with adenine in DNA.
