Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that RNA is a nucleic acid similar to DNA, but it has ribose sugar and uracil (U) instead of thymine (T).
Recognize that base pairing in RNA involves hydrogen bonds between specific nucleotides.
Identify the correct base pairing rules for RNA: Adenine (A) pairs with Uracil (U), and Cytosine (C) pairs with Guanine (G).
Note that these base pairing rules are crucial for RNA structure and function, including processes like transcription and translation.
Remember that the base pairing rules for RNA differ from DNA, where Adenine (A) pairs with Thymine (T) instead of Uracil (U).
