Which nitrogenous base is not present in DNA?
Which nitrogenous base is not present in DNA?
Show Hint
DNA contains thymine (T), while RNA contains uracil (U) in place of thymine.
Updated On: Mar 7, 2025
- Thymine
- Uracil
- Adenine
- Guanine
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Uracil is found in RNA instead of thymine. In DNA, the four nitrogenous bases are adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G).
