what base is not in DNA?
A
A
B
T
C
G
D
U
E
C
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Uracil is not found in DNA as it uracil has more base pair affinity to adenine, guanine and cytosine.

Detailed explanation-2: -Explanation: Uracil is a nitrogenous base that is only found in single-stranded RNA-it is not found in DNA.

Detailed explanation-3: -Definition. 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-4: -The bases used in DNA are adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and thymine (T). In RNA, the base uracil (U) takes the place of thymine.

Detailed explanation-5: -So, the correct answer is ‘Uracil’.
