Detailed explanation-1: -In RNA, however, a base called uracil (U) replaces thymine (T) as the complementary nucleotide to adenine (Figure 3). This means that during elongation, the presence of adenine in the DNA template strand tells RNA polymerase to attach a uracil in the corresponding area of the growing RNA strand (Figure 4).
Detailed explanation-2: -In RNA, uracil (U) is used instead of thymine (T). So if the original DNA coding strand had the sequence A T T G C T, this would end up in the RNA as A U U G C U-everything is exactly the same except that every T had been replaced by U.
Detailed explanation-3: -Four different types of nitrogenous bases are found in DNA: adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G). In RNA, the thymine is replaced by uracil (U).
