Multiple Choice
In RNA, which nucleotide base pairs with adenine (A) during complementary base pairing?
A
Thymine (T)
B
Guanine (G)
C
Uracil (U)
D
Cytosine (C)
Verified step by step guidance1
Recall that in DNA, adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T) through complementary base pairing.
Understand that RNA differs from DNA in that it contains uracil (U) instead of thymine (T).
Recognize that during RNA complementary base pairing, adenine (A) pairs with uracil (U) instead of thymine.
Note that guanine (G) pairs with cytosine (C) in both DNA and RNA, so they are not the correct pair for adenine.
Therefore, the nucleotide base that pairs with adenine (A) in RNA is uracil (U).
