Answer:


\boxed {\boxed {\sf A. \ Uracil}}

Step-by-step explanation:

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) has two chains of nucleotides that form a double helix that resembles a twisty ladder. The nucleotides are:

  • Adenine (A)
  • Guanine (G)
  • Cytosine (C)
  • Thymine (T)

RNA (ribonucleic acid) is different. It only has one chain of nucleotides. The bases are also different:

  • Adenine
  • Guanine
  • Cytosine
  • Uracil (U)

We see that RNA has a different base! It contains uracil instead of thymine. The correct answer must be A. uracil
