DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid)
* Adenine (A): Pairs with Thymine (T)
* Guanine (G): Pairs with Cytosine (C)
* Cytosine (C): Pairs with Guanine (G)
* Thymine (T): Pairs with Adenine (A)
RNA (Ribonucleic Acid)
* Adenine (A): Pairs with Uracil (U)
* Guanine (G): Pairs with Cytosine (C)
* Cytosine (C): Pairs with Guanine (G)
* Uracil (U): Pairs with Adenine (A)
Key Differences
* Thymine vs. Uracil: DNA uses thymine, while RNA uses uracil. This is a key difference between the two nucleic acids.
