Question

The purine base present in RNA is

• A. Guanine
• B. Thymine
• C. Cytosine
• D. Uracil

Hint:

RNA contains purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (cytosine and uracil).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understand purine bases in RNA.
Purine bases in RNA include adenine and guanine. Pyrimidine bases in RNA include cytosine and uracil.
Step 2: Analyze the options.
- Guanine (Option A) is a purine base found in RNA. - Thymine (Option B) is found in DNA, not RNA. - Cytosine (Option C) is a pyrimidine base in RNA. - Uracil (Option D) is also a pyrimidine base in RNA.
Step 3: Apply to the options.
The correct answer is (A) Guanine.
Final Answer: \[ \boxed{\text{Guanine}} \]
