RNA tends to be single stranded so its bases do not pair very often.
During transcription, the mRNA does pair to the DNA for a short time producing a DNA hybrid. In this case complementary base pairing will occur- But you need to be careful however as RNA contains U bases instead of T.
RNA - DNA:
A- T
U- A
G-C
C-G
In some virus', the viral genome can also be double stranded RNA- quite rare!
so in this case- all the above except A will pair with U because T is not availible in RNA.

What are the completentary base pairing in a DNA -RNA pairing?
DNA to RNA Cytosine to Guanine Guanine to Cytosine Adenine to Uracil Thymine to Adenine
How does base pairing differ RNA and DNA?
RNA uses uracil instead of thyminelike DNA does.
What illustrates the pairing of DNA and RNA nucleotides?

How are RNA hairpin turns related to termination?
The turns are formed from complementary base pairing and cause separation of the RNA transcript and RNA polymerase.
Which of the following is true regarding complementary base pairing in DNA and RNA molecules?
Although the base pairing between two strands of DNA in a DNA molecule can be thousands to millions of base pairs long, base pairing in an RNA molecule is limited to short stretches of nucleotides in the same molecule or between two RNA molecules.
What basepairing is found in DNA and RNA?
The Complementary base pairing of DNA is A with T and C with G. In Rna, T is replaced with U.
What are nitrogen bases and their complementary base pairs in DNA and RNA?
Th nitrogen bases for DNA are: thymine (T), guanine (G), cytosine (C) and adenine (A). For RNA they are adenine, guanine, cytosine and uracil (U).DNA base pairing is highly specific: T pairs with A (T-A) and G pairs with C (G-C).RNA base pairing is not as specific, but can be said to occur like so: U pairing with A (U-A) and G pairing with C.
What are the rules for base pairing?
dna : A=T C=G rna A=U C=G
How do base pairing work in a cell?
The pairing of bases allows the cells to replicate.
Difference between RNA and DNA base pairing?
There is no thymine in RNA, there is uracil instead. So in DNA the base pairs are adenine - thymine and cytosine-guanine, and in RNA adenine-uracil and cytosine-guanine.
Which enzyme puts nucleotides in place according to base-pairing rules?
DNA polymerase and RNA polymerase .
