RNA contains which bases?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the nucleotide bases that are found in RNA. RNA contains four types of bases, which are critical for its function in coding, decoding, regulation, and expression of genes.
Answer
adenine, cytosine, guanine, and uracil
The final answer is adenine, cytosine, guanine, and uracil.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is adenine, cytosine, guanine, and uracil.
More Information
RNA uses uracil instead of thymine, which is found in DNA, to pair with adenine.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing RNA base uracil (U) with DNA base thymine (T).
