If not repaired, uracil base-pairs with the purine named __(adenine??)___ resulting in a mutation during subsequent DNA replication.

Question

Describe base pairing between uracil and the purine, i.e hydrogen bonding between hydrogen on N7 and oxygen on C2

Answer 1

here u go, hope it helps,
Uracil (/ˈjʊərəsɪl/; U) is one of the four nucleobases in the nucleic acid RNA that are represented by the letters A, G, C and U. The others are adenine (A), cytosine (C), and guanine (G). In RNA, uracil binds to adenine via two hydrogen bonds. In DNA, the uracil nucleobase is replaced by thymine. Uracil is a demethylated form of thymine.

Uracil is a common and naturally occurring pyrimidine derivative.[2] The name "uracil" was coined in 1885 by the German chemist Robert Behrend, who was attempting to synthesize derivatives of uric acid.[3] Originally discovered in 1900 by Alberto Ascoli, it was isolated by hydrolysis of yeast nuclein;[4] it was also found in bovine thymus and spleen, herring sperm, and wheat germ.[5] It is a planar, unsaturated compound that has the ability to absorb light.[6]
