Uracil is not found in DNA, only RNA, and replaces thymine in RNA 
sveta [45]3 years ago

The correct answer is uracil.

Uracil is a nitrogen base that is found in the RNA and not in the DNA, which has thymine. The three other nitrogen bases are the same ( Adenine, Guanine and Cytosine).

Besides the difference in the nitrogen bases, the two molecules also differ in the sugar that builds the structure ( DNA has desoxyribose and RNA has ribose) and the DNA is a two stranded helix, whereas the RNA is a single stranded molecule.

What is a ligand? what do ligands have to do with receptor-mediated endocytosis?
Volgvan
In biochemistry, aligand is a substance that forms a complex with a biomolecule to serve abiological purpose. In protein-ligandbinding, the ligand is usually a molecule which produces a signal by binding to a site on a target protein.

Receptor mediated endocytosis is an endocytotic mechanism in which specific molecules are ingested into the cell. The specificity results from a receptor-ligand interaction. Receptors on the plasma membrane of the target tissue will specifically bind to ligands on the outside of the cell. An endocytotic process occurs and the ligand is ingested.

A very well studied example of receptor mediated endocytosis involves the metabolism of cholesterol.
