Thymine
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that RNA is a nucleic acid similar to DNA, but with some differences in its structure and function.
Recall that in DNA, adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T) through hydrogen bonds.
Note that RNA does not contain thymine. Instead, it contains uracil (U) as one of its four bases.
Recognize that in RNA, adenine (A) pairs with uracil (U) instead of thymine.
Conclude that the correct base pairing for adenine in RNA is with uracil.
