Thymine is the nucleotide which is found in DNA.This is replaced by uracil. The difference between thymine and uracil is that thymine possess a methyl(CH3) group on one of the carbons of its ring and this methyl group is missing in uracil.Except for this change both have the same structure.

Thymine, as this base present in DNA is replaced by uracil in RNA.
