Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which base is NOT found in RNA?
Correct Answer: Thymine
  • Step 1: Understand that RNA is a type of nucleic acid, like DNA.
  • Step 2: Know that both RNA and DNA are made up of building blocks called nucleotides.
  • Step 3: Identify the four bases found in DNA: adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G).
  • Step 4: Learn that RNA has four bases as well: adenine (A), uracil (U), cytosine (C), and guanine (G).
  • Step 5: Notice that thymine (T) is present in DNA but is replaced by uracil (U) in RNA.
  • Step 6: Conclude that thymine is the base that is NOT found in RNA.
