Generally, RNA is single stranded, but there are exceptions, especially in catalytic RNA.

What is the DNA and RNA for strands of nucleotides?

DNA and RNA:AdenineCytosineGuanineDNA only:ThymineRNA only:Uracil


Is RNA made from 1 strands of DNA?

No, RNA is synthesized from a single strand of DNA through a process called transcription. During transcription, the DNA helix unwinds, and an enzyme called RNA polymerase builds a complementary RNA molecule by pairing RNA nucleotides with the DNA template strand. This resulting single-stranded RNA molecule can then go on to perform various functions in the cell.


What is specific base pairing?

a pair of nitrogenous bases,consisting of a purine linked by hydrozen bonds to a pyrimidine that connects the complementary strands . the base pair are adenine,thymine,cytosine & guanine in DNA & uracil in place of thymine in RNA.


Why the DNA molecule differs from the RNA molecule?

RNA and DNA work together in a way despite the differences. When your DNA calls for a protein your body needs to make, RNA within a cell has the DNA separate into two 'strands', and the RNA will attach to the other half of the DNA to scan the coded 'message' made of the nitrogen bases; adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine in a specific pattern. This RNA is called messenger RNA. It then floats into the cytoplasm of a cell and transfers the code of a protein to a ribosome; Ribosomes create proteins. As the RNA transfers the coded protein, Transfer RNA comes in and decodes the protein, to slowly build a molecule of that protein. When the molecule is complete and the code is decoded, you get a protein or amino acid. IF YOU'RE WONDERING THE DIFFERENCES: DNA has two strands to make a twisted ladder shape. RNA is a single strand. DNA has the nitrogen bases: Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine RNA has: Adenine, Uracil, Cytosine, and Guanine. Adenine in DNA pairs with Thymine. Adenine in RNA pairs with Uracil instead.


Does strands of the RNA contain adenine?

yes
