Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
DNA has the following bases EXCEPT:
A
Cytosine
B
Adenine
C
Guanine
D
Uracil
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Uracil is the nitrogenous base present only in RNA, but not in DNA. Thymine is in DNA. DNA have thymine, guanine, adenine and cytosine. Thymine is replaced by uracil in RNA.

Detailed explanation-2: -Abstract. Uracil is one of four nitrogen bases, most frequently found in normal RNA. Uracyl can be found also in DNA as a result of enzymatic or non-enzymatic deamination of cytosine as well as misincorporation of dUMP instead of dTMP during DNA replication.

Detailed explanation-3: -Uracil is one of four nitrogenous bases found in the RNA molecule: uracil and cytosine (derived from pyrimidine) and adenine and guanine (derived from purine). Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) also contains each of these nitrogenous bases, except that thymine is substituted for uracil.

Detailed explanation-4: -Uracil is not found in DNA as it uracil has more base pair affinity to adenine, guanine and cytosine. Instead thymine is present in DNA.

Detailed explanation-5: -There are four nucleotides, or bases, in DNA: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T).
