Answer:

DNA

Step-by-step explanation:

Thymine is one of the four nucleobases that pairs with adenine to make up DNA, also called 5-methyluracil. It is replaced by uracil to make RNA molecules during transcription.

Theferore the unknown chemical analyzed was DNA because thymine is found in DNA and not in RNA molecules.
