The nitrogenous base not present in DNA structure?

  • A.Adenine (A)
  • B.Guanine (G)
  • C.Cytosine (C)
  • D.Uracil (U)

Answer: D

The base not present in DNA is Uracil (U).

DNA is built from four nitrogenous bases: adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine. RNA uses the same first three but has uracil in place of thymine.

Adenine and guanine are the purines found in both nucleic acids, and cytosine is a pyrimidine found in both. So uracil is the only option that is not part of DNA structure.
