Function: The fundemental unit of life. codes for everything. The building blocks of everything else
(DNA->RNA->amino acids->proteins)
Location: Nucleus
Almost always double stranded
(RNA is always single stranded)
No, RNA is not always single stranded. It can exist as single stranded or double stranded depending on its function and structure.
DNA is double stranded.
DNA is double stranded.
RNA is typically single-stranded, unlike DNA which is double-stranded.
Plasmids can be either single or double stranded, but most commonly they are double stranded.
DNA is double-stranded.
DNA is double stranded.
DNA is double stranded, while RNA is typically single stranded.
RNA is typically single-stranded, unlike DNA which is double-stranded.
circular double stranded DNA protected by capsid proteins
The DNA in a virus can be either single-stranded or double-stranded, depending on the type of virus.
tRNA, or transfer RNA, is a single stranded molecule. The only double stranded RNA is dsRNA, or double stranded RNA. They are typically found in viruses.
