Which nitrogenous base is not found in DNA?
A
Uracil
B
Thymine
C
Adenine
D
Guanine
Verified step by step guidance1
Recall the four nitrogenous bases found in DNA: Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C), and Guanine (G).
Understand that DNA and RNA differ in one of their nitrogenous bases; DNA contains Thymine, while RNA contains Uracil instead of Thymine.
Identify that Uracil is a nitrogenous base found only in RNA and not in DNA.
Compare the options given: Uracil, Thymine, Adenine, and Guanine, and recognize that Uracil is the base absent from DNA.
Conclude that the nitrogenous base not found in DNA is Uracil.
