Regarding the structure of RNA, the nitrogenous base uracil replaces thymine and, like thymine, forms hydrogen bonds with

A. Adenine
B. Guanine
C. Cytosine
D. Xanthine

📝 Explanation

Uracil is a pyrimidine base found in RNA. Like thymine (its counterpart in DNA), its structure is complementary to adenine, and it forms two hydrogen bonds with adenine during base pairing. Guanine pairs with cytosine.
