The two strands can not be separated mechanically.
DNA is generally double stranded and RNA is single stranded.
mRNA is most commonly linear but can form a duplex double strand just like DNA.
RNA polymerase runs in one direction and is making up a single strand of mRNA. So, the strand not copied in the antiparallel double stranded DNA is called the nonsense strand. ( sense strand is copied )
DNA is double stranded. It is described as a double helix, kind of like a twisted ladder.
The larger are encoding hundreds more proteins and assembling more complex virions.
No, DNA, from difference with the RNA, is a double strand of nucleotides. DNA, double strand (hence the double helix nickname). RNA, single strand.
It is single stranded RNA. Importantly, it is also a segmented genome that allows it to have large genetic diversity.
DNA is generally double stranded and RNA is single stranded.
single strand to double strand
One can differentiate between single-strand DNA and double-strand DNA by treating with exonuclease I which specifically digests only ssDNA. Note. For verification, the products have to be run on polyacrylamide gels with appropriate controls.

mRNA is like a single strand instead of a double strand. If DNA is like a twisted ladder, then mRNA is like a single half of that ladder, with only half the bases.
ssDNA means a single strand of DNA and dsDNA is double strand of DNA. Many viruses have one or the other.

Another name that can be used for a single-strand wire is thread or strand.
