Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -DNA (top) includes thymine (red); in RNA (bottom), thymine is replaced with uracil (yellow).
Detailed explanation-2: -Uracil (U) is one of the four nucleotide bases in RNA, with the other three being adenine (A), cytosine (C) and guanine (G). In RNA, uracil pairs with adenine. In a DNA molecule, the nucleotide thymine (T) is used in place of uracil.
Detailed explanation-3: -In RNA instead of thymine, uracil is present.
