Question

In which type of nucleic acid, uracil is present instead of thymine?

Answer 1

In RNA (Ribonucleic acid)

Answer 2

RNA

Explanation:

Uracil is one of the four nucleobases in the nucleic acid of RNA that are represented by the letters A, G, C and U. In RNA, uracil binds to adenine via two hydrogen bonds. In DNA, the uracil nucleobase is replaced by thymine. Uracil is a demethylated form of thymine. Uracil is energetically less expensive to produce than thymine, which may account for its use in RNA.
