Answer: DNA contains the nucleotides guanine (G), cytosine (C), adenine (A), and thymine (T). RNA contains the nucleotides guanine (G), cytosine (C), uracil (U), and thymine (T). The difference between the two is that RNA contains uracil (U) rather than adenine (A).
The base pairs in DNA are adenine with thymine and guanine with cytosine. The base pairs in RNA are uracil with thymine and guanine with cytosine.
