Why is thymine used in DNA rather than uracil?
 A) Thymine is more hydrophobic, so it stacks better in the helix.
  B) If cytosine is deaminated, it forms uracil, which can be easily distinguished from thymine.
  C) Thymine is not capable of wobbling, so it pairs more accurately than uracil.
  D) All of these are correct.
