RNA<span> (Ribonucleic Acid) is synthesized in the nucleus and is very similar to </span>DNA<span>. The synthesis of </span>RNA<span> also involves the use of bases, but in </span>RNA<span> synthesis no thymine (T) is </span>used<span> but uracil (U) is </span>used<span> instead. ... The synthesis of </span>RNA<span> from </span>DNA<span> is called transcription (the </span>DNA<span> is transcribed into </span>RNA<span>).</span>
