Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
RNA has these 4 nitrogenous bases
A
Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine and Guanine
B
Adenine, Uracil, Cytosine and Guanine
C
Adenine, Uracil, Thymine and Guanine
D
Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine and Thymine
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -RNA consists of four nitrogenous bases: adenine, cytosine, uracil, and guanine. Uracil is a pyrimidine that is structurally similar to the thymine, another pyrimidine that is found in DNA. Like thymine, uracil can base-pair with adenine (Figure 2).

Detailed explanation-2: -Nitrogenous Bases in RNA RNA uses adenine, guanine, and cytosine, like DNA. However, in place of thymine, RNA uses uracil. Uracil pairs with adenine and guanine and cytosine pair together. Uracil and adenine form two hydrogen bonds, just like thymine and adenine do in DNA.

Detailed explanation-3: -RNA is composed of four individual nucleotides. These four nucleotides include adenine, cytosine, guanine, and uracil, which replaces thymine in DNA.. A nucleotide consists of a phosphate group, sugar, and a phosphate group.

Detailed explanation-4: -The four bases that make up this code are adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G) and cytosine (C). Bases pair off together in a double helix structure, these pairs being A and T, and C and G. RNA doesn’t contain thymine bases, replacing them with uracil bases (U), which pair to adenine1.
