During transcription, DNA is used as a template to make a copy of single-stranded RNA. only one of the two DNA strands is used as a template for RNA synthesis. therefore only one complementary strand of RNA is usually made

∙ 14y agoMost strands of RNA are single stranded, tRNA, mRNA and rRNA however dsRNA is double stranded, this form of RNA is found usually in viruses.

∙ 12y agoRNA is single-stranded. Consequently, primers are needed only for one strand.

Which RNA was soluble rna?
The RNA molecules that attach the amino acid to the protein chain are usually soluble.
Is DNA and RNA double-standard?
No, DNA is usually double-stranded, consisting of two strands that are complementary to each other. RNA, on the other hand, is usually single-stranded. There are exceptions to this, such as certain viral RNA genomes that can be double-stranded.
Which is longer a strand of RNA or a strand of DNA?
Normally DNA and RNA are the same length. However RNA has only one half of the two usually duplicate genetic strands of DNA
Are enzymes usually proteins?
yes, most are. But some can be made of RNA.
When human immunodeficiency virus HIV attaches to a host cell what genetic material is released into the cell's cytoplasm?
Within the HIV capsid is the genetic material RNA along with two reverse transcriptase enzymes to copy the RNA into DNA inside the invaded cell.
Which RNA was soluble rna?
The RNA molecules that attach the amino acid to the protein chain are usually soluble.
What does RNA usually contain besides thymine?
RNA does not contain the nitrogen base thymine. There are four nitrogen bases in RNA; adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil.
The RNA molecule is usually made up of how many strands?
The RNA molecule is usually made up of a single strand. This is unlike the DNA molecule which has double strands.

Number of nucleotide strands in RNA?
DNA is usually double stranded and RNA is usually single stranded but there are exections to both cases
Are enzymes usually proteins?
yes, most are. But some can be made of RNA.

Within the HIV capsid is the genetic material RNA along with two reverse transcriptase enzymes to copy the RNA into DNA inside the invaded cell.
The sequence of events in the process of protein synthesis is usually?
DNA to RNA to protein
Which type of nucleic acid is usually single-stranded DNA or RNA?
DNA
Which of these is responsible for catalyzing the formation of an RNA primer?
Primase. It's usually depicted on the leading strand as square/rectangle.
What are the three main differences in RNA and DNA?
DNA nucleotides contain the sugar deoxyribose. RNA nucleotides contain the sugar ribose. DNA contains the nitrogen bases adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine. RNA contains the same nitrogen bases, except for thymine. RNA contains the nitrogen base uracil in place of thymine. DNA is a double-stranded molecule, whereas RNA is single-stranded.
