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.

DNA to RNA Cytosine to Guanine Guanine to Cytosine Adenine to Uracil Thymine to Adenine
In RNA, the unique complementary base pairing is between adenine (A) and uracil (U), and between cytosine (C) and guanine (G).
RNA uses uracil instead of thyminelike DNA does.
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.
In RNA, the unique complementary base pairing is between adenine (A) and uracil (U), and between guanine (G) and cytosine (C).
RNA uses uracil (U) instead of thymine (T) for base pairing with adenine (A). Additionally, RNA is usually single-stranded, while DNA is double-stranded. RNA base pairing is crucial for processes such as transcription and translation.
During transcription, RNA polymerase catalyzes the synthesis of an RNA molecule by base-pairing complementary RNA nucleotides with the DNA template strand. This complementary base pairing allows the RNA nucleotides to be connected to the DNA template, forming a growing strand of RNA that is identical in sequence to the non-template DNA strand.
In RNA, the base pairing is between adenine (A) and uracil (U), and between guanine (G) and cytosine (C). In DNA, the base pairing is between adenine (A) and thymine (T), and between guanine (G) and cytosine (C).
In RNA, adenine binds to Uracil. In DNA it binds to thymine.
In RNA, the base pairing is between adenine (A) and uracil (U), and between cytosine (C) and guanine (G). In DNA, the base pairing is between adenine (A) and thymine (T), and between cytosine (C) and guanine (G).
Yes, RNA can form helical structures, similar to DNA, due to its complementary base pairing.
