Answer: <u>D. Thymine is used in replication while uracil is used in transcription.</u>
Explanation:
Genetic information is stored in double-helixes of DNA molecules (Doxyribonuclease). In replication, two daughter strands of DNA are copied from the parent strand, while in replication, instructions stored within DNA are copied into a different form, called mRNA or messenger RNA.
Nucleotides are monomers comprising DNA, a nucleic acid that along with RNA, a ribose sugar-containing nucleotide, acts as a storage molecule to encode proteins. 5-carbon deoxyribose or ribose sugar, phosphate and one of four nitrogen bases are found in nucleotides:
Adenine (A)
Guanine (G)
Cytosine (C)
Thymine (T).
Uracil (U) found in RNA
While <em>both contain four nucleotide bases, </em> in RNA, uracil replaces thymine... The DNA nucleotides are involved in replication while RNA nucleotides drive transcription,
