What are the base pairs in DNA and RNA?

Although very similar, the base pairs in DNA and RNA differ by one nitrogenous base. 

In DNA, the four nitrogenous bases are Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, and Cytosine. Adenine always bonds to thymine (in DNA), they are connected by two Hydrogen bonds. Cytosine and Guanine are always bonded together. They are connected by three Hydrogen bonds. 

However, in RNA, there is no thymine and instead, there is Uracil. That is the only nitrogenous base that is different. Cytosine still bonds to guanine, and adenine bonds to uracil. 

I hope that helps!

did Anna appear to be following a diet appropriate for a person with type 1 diabetes and why or why not
Sphinxa [80]
While you didn't provide us with a list of foods that Anna is eating or has eaten in the past, her diet would be appropriate for her if she was abstaining from food that has a high glycemic impact (bread, pasta, candy, chocolate) on her body, or just food which contains glucose in general. Both of these are not allowed for diabetics as they might trigger unwanted effects.
