Will ethidium bromide stain double stranded DNA or single stranded DNA?

both, though DNA will preferentially form doublestranded DNA at room temperature. it can be quite hard to get single stranded DNA other than by heating your sample up to 95 degrees Celcius.


Some organisms use singlestranded rather than doublestranded DNA In these organisms which enzyme would probably not be needed for DNA replication?

Some viruses have single stranded DNA molecules. These viruses do not have the machinery to synthesise the DNA on their own. They insert their DNA in a living cell where the DNA synthesis takes place.

Is uracil always paired with adenine in double-stranded DNA?

No, Uracil doesn't occur in double stranded DNA. Doublestranded DNA contains Guanine paired with Cytosine and Adenine paired with Thymine. In RNA, however, Adenine is always paired with Uracil instead of Thymine.
