The correct Answer is:
To answer the question "R.N.A. contains which of the following base, in place of Thymine of D.N.A.?", we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Components of DNA and RNA**: - DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) contains four nitrogenous bases: Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C), and Guanine (G). - RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) also contains four nitrogenous bases, but instead of Thymine, it contains a different base. 2. **Identify the Base that Replaces Thymine in RNA**: - In RNA, Thymine (T) is replaced by Uracil (U). Therefore, the base pairing in RNA involves Adenine (A) pairing with Uracil (U) instead of Thymine. 3. **Review the Options Provided**: - The options given are: 1. Thymine 2. Uracil 3. Adenine 4. Nano-p - From our understanding, we can eliminate Thymine, Adenine, and Nano-p as they do not replace Thymine in RNA. 4. **Conclude the Correct Answer**: - The correct answer is Uracil, which is the base that RNA contains in place of Thymine found in DNA. ### Final Answer: The base that RNA contains in place of Thymine of DNA is **Uracil**. ---
