Answer:

Answer:
Uracil
Explanation:
The base that will NOT combine with 2-deoxyribose to form a nucleic acid is Uracil.
2-deoxyribose is a pentose sugar found in the DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid). It is devoid of oxygen in its 2' position. The bases found in DNA are Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and Thymine. Adenine, Guanine, and Cytosine are also found in RNA (Ribonucleic acid). Thymine is not present in RNA, it is only found in DNA. The base found in RNA is Uracil which in turn is not present in DNA. The five carbon sugar present in RNA is ribose which combines with Uracil.
