  • DNA vs. RNA: Understanding the Difference in Nucleotides
    The nucleotide that occurs in DNA molecules but not RNA molecules is thymine (T).

    Here's why:

    * DNA uses the four nucleotides: Adenine (A), Guanine (G), Cytosine (C), and Thymine (T).

    * RNA uses the four nucleotides: Adenine (A), Guanine (G), Cytosine (C), and Uracil (U).

    Thymine is replaced by Uracil in RNA.
