- u a base containing nitrogen that is found in RNA (but not in DNA) and derived from pyrimidine; pairs with adenine
- thymine a base found in DNA (but not in RNA) and derived from pyrimidine; pairs with adenine
- base pair one of the pairs of chemical bases joined by hydrogen bonds that connect the complementary strands of a DNA molecule or of an RNA molecule that has two strands; the base pairs are adenine with thymine and guanine with cytosine in DNA and adenine with uracil and guanine with cytosine in RNA
- uracil a base containing nitrogen that is found in RNA (but not in DNA) and derived from pyrimidine; pairs with adenine
- t a base found in DNA (but not in RNA) and derived from pyrimidine; pairs with adenine
