1 Set of hunches. 2  If a theory is a set of hunches, it means we arenât yet sure we have the answer. 3  Theories always involve an element of speculation or conjecture. 4  A theory is not just one inspired thought or an isolated idea.  A theory offers some sort of explanation.
Uracil is paired with thymine in RNA and it is paired with Adenine in DNA. In DNA transcription (from DNA to RNA), uracil pairs with adenine. in regular DNA replication adenine pairs with thymine.
There are four reasons for this: First, thymine is a methylated analogue of uracil, DNA can be protected from nuclei by methylation. Second, uracil has more base pair affinity to adenine, but it can also pair up with other bases including itself. This can lead to mutations in our genetic material. Third, repair enzymes find it easier to recognize the DNA if it is methylated.
