Uracil

Detailed explanation-1: -Uracil is absent in DNA. It is found in RNA. In place of Uracil, Thymine is found in DNA.
Detailed explanation-2: -Abstract. Uracil is one of four nitrogen bases, most frequently found in normal RNA. Uracyl can be found also in DNA as a result of enzymatic or non-enzymatic deamination of cytosine as well as misincorporation of dUMP instead of dTMP during DNA replication.
Detailed explanation-3: -One of the four nucleobases in DNA’s nucleic acid, represented by the letters G-C-A-T, is thymine. This is so that the DNA repair enzymes may recognize thymine rather than uracil. Because thymine has a higher resistance to photochemical mutation and makes the genetic code more durable, DNA uses it instead of uracil.
Detailed explanation-4: -Uracil is one of four nitrogenous bases found in the RNA molecule: uracil and cytosine (derived from pyrimidine) and adenine and guanine (derived from purine). Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) also contains each of these nitrogenous bases, except that thymine is substituted for uracil.
