The bases present in DNA are

  • A.adenine, cytosine, guanine and thymine
  • B.adenine, guanine, thymine and uracil
  • C.adenine, cytosine, thymine and uracil
  • D.cytosine, guanine, thymine and uracil

Answer: A

The bases in DNA are adenine, cytosine, guanine and thymine.

DNA uses two purines, adenine and guanine, and two pyrimidines, cytosine and thymine, paired A with T and G with C in the double helix. Thymine is 5-methyluracil.

Uracil replaces thymine in RNA, not DNA, so every option that lists uracil is wrong: one also drops cytosine, one drops guanine, and one drops adenine. Only the first option lists all four DNA bases and nothing else.
