During transcription, Adenosine forms a base pair with Uracil instead of Thymine.

During transcription, Adenosine forms a base pair with Uracil instead of Thymine. Correct Answer True

In DNA, the double hydrogen base pairing is seen between Adenine and Thymine. Likewise, the triple hydrogen base pairing is seen between Guanine and Cytosine. But Uracil is present in the place of Thymine in the single stranded structure of RNA. So, Adenosine forms a base pair with Uracil instead of Thymine.
