  • DNA vs RNA Bases: A Comprehensive Guide to Nitrogenous Bases
    Here's a breakdown of the nitrogenous bases found in RNA and DNA:

    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.
