Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The four bases in the DNA code are:A, T, C and U.
A
True
B
False
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -These chemical bonds act like rungs in a ladder and help hold the two strands of DNA together. There are four nucleotides, or bases, in DNA: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T).

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -ACGT is an acronym for the four types of bases found in a DNA molecule: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T). A DNA molecule consists of two strands wound around each other, with each strand held together by bonds between the bases. Adenine pairs with thymine, and cytosine pairs with guanine.

Detailed explanation-4: -The given statement is True. Thymine is one of the four chemical bases in DNA. Within the DNA molecule, the thymine is present in one strand. It is found in the nucleic acid of deoxyribonucleic acid.
