Answer:


{\boxed {\sf Adenine \ with \ Uracil}}


\boxed {\sf Cytosine \ with \ Guanine }}

Step-by-step explanation:

In RNA (ribonucleic acids), the nitrogen bases are:

  • Adenine
  • Guanine
  • Cytosine
  • Uracil (there is thymine in DNA, but not in RNA)

The bases pair like:

  • Adenine (A) with Uracil (U)
  • Cytosine (C) with Guanine (G)

So, the base pairs for RNA are A with U and C with G
