In RNA, which nitrogenous base pairs with adenine?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking which nitrogenous base in RNA pairs with adenine. In RNA, adenine pairs with uracil instead of thymine, which is found in DNA.
Answer
Uracil
In RNA, the nitrogenous base that pairs with adenine is uracil.
Answer for screen readers
In RNA, the nitrogenous base that pairs with adenine is uracil.
More Information
In RNA, uracil (U) replaces thymine (T), which is found in DNA. Thus, adenine (A) pairs with uracil (U) in RNA, and with thymine (T) in DNA.
