STRUCTURE:What Nitrogenous Base does RNA contain that DNA does not?
A
Thymine
B
Uracil
C
Adenine
D
Love
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The five-carbon sugar ring and the content of the nitrogenous base between DNA and RNA are slightly different from each other. 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).

Detailed explanation-2: -Uracil replaces thymine in RNA; thus, RNA contains the following four nitrogenous bases: adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil.

Detailed explanation-3: -One of the most important differences between DNA and RNA apart from the sugar molecule is the nitrogenous base Uracil, which is seen only in RNA. Instead of Uracil, DNA has Thymine, while the other three nitrogenous bases (Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine) are the same in both RNA and DNA.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
