Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In DNA, adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T) and cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G). However, in RNA, thymine is replaced with uracil (U). Therefore, in RNA, adenine (A) pairs with uracil (U) and cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G). So, the complementary base pairings that occur between DNA and RNA are: A to U and C to G.
