Is RNA single or double strand?
RNA is single stranded. DNA is double stranded. There are many types of RNA including mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA. mRNA and tRNA are involved in protein synthesis and the process of translation. mRNA and tRNA bind to the ribosome and form polypeptides or proteins that are released into the cell.
What is dsDNA?
ssDNA stands for single stranded DNA and dsDNA stands for double stranded DNA. ssDNA stands for single stranded DNA and dsDNA stands for double stranded DNA.
Why does DNA molecules differ from the RNA molecules?
Generally the DNA molecule is double stranded to RNA's single strand. The RNA molecule uses uracil as a base while the DNA molecule uses thymine. RNA has catabolic properties that allow it to act in things such a ribosomes and tRNA. DNA is just a carrier of the genetic information.
Is DNA usually single-stranded?
DNA is double stranded Except in bacteria and some viruses and chloroplast and mitochondrial DNA
Is DNA double or single strand?
DNA is double stranded. It is described as a double helix, kind of like a twisted ladder.

Is DNA a single-stranded and if not what is?
no..it's double-stranded..
What is dsDNA?
ssDNA stands for single stranded DNA and dsDNA stands for double stranded DNA. ssDNA stands for single stranded DNA and dsDNA stands for double stranded DNA.
Is astrovirus single or double stranded?
single stranded RNA (positive sense)

Is DNA or RNA triple stranded?
DNA is generally double stranded and RNA is single stranded.
IS HPV single or double stranded?
circular double stranded DNA protected by capsid proteins
Which of these sentences states why the DNA molecule differs from the RNA Molecule?
Generally the DNA molecule is double stranded to RNA's single strand. The RNA molecule uses uracil as a base while the DNA molecule uses thymine. RNA has catabolic properties that allow it to act in things such a ribosomes and tRNA. DNA is just a carrier of the genetic information.
Is RNA found in a double stranded state in the cyoplasm?
It depends what you mean by double stranded. If you mean two separate RNA strands, perfectly complementary to one another and existing as a basepaired structure in the cytoplasm, then no. Double stranded RNA like that only occurs in some types of viruses (and cells infected by them... so I guess the cytoplasm of a cell infected by a double stranded virus might have a lot of this kind of double stranded RNA). However, if you mean double stranded in the sense of a single RNA molecule folding back on itself and basepairing with itself - forming stem loops and more complicated structures - that kind of RNA double-strandedness is extremely common. All tRNA's and rRNA's for example exhibit this kind of double-strandedness. Nucleic acids are unstable in single stranded states and will spontaneously fold back on themselves if there is no other strand to basepair with. Nucleic acids are inherently unstable in a single stranded state. Thus,
Does chickenpox have single-stranded or double-stranded DNA?
Varicella-zoster virus, the virus that causes chickenpox, has a double-stranded DNA genome.
