what are the differences in dna and rna nitrogenous bases?
DNA is a double-stranded molecule, while RNA is a single-stranded molecule. ... DNA and RNA base pairing is slightly different since DNA uses the bases adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine; RNA uses adenine, uracil, cytosine, and guanine. Uracil differs from thymine in that it lacks a methyl group on its ring.
