Uracil pairs with adenine.
To determine the correct answer for which base pairs with uracil, we can refer to the concept of base pairing in DNA and RNA molecules.
1. Start by understanding the base pairing rules: In DNA, the bases adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T), while guanine (G) pairs with cytosine (C). However, RNA differs slightly from DNA in that it does not contain thymine (T). Instead, it contains uracil (U), which pairs with adenine (A).
2. Now, applying this information to the given options:
- Uracil (U) does not pair with itself, so we can eliminate this option.
- Thymine (T) is a base found only in DNA, not RNA. Hence, we can eliminate this option as well.
- "Any nitrogen base" is a vague option that does not provide a specific answer, so we can disregard it.
- Adenine (A) is the correct choice as it pairs with uracil (U) in RNA.
Therefore, the correct answer is adenine.
