Best Answer

There are two strands of DNA in a DNA double helix, each consisting of many nucleotide subunits. They are like building blocks that make up the DNA molecule, which would then be like a block tower. A 'strand of nucleotides' as you put it would basically be a DNA molecule (if they are deoxyribose nucleotides) or if they are ribose nucleotides, they would be a RNA molecule. DNA can come in double stranded helices (most of the time) or can be single stranded (as in some viruses).

How can you tell the difference between a DNA molecule undergoing transcription and being replicated?

If the DNA molecule is undergoing transcription, then mRNA nucleotides will be forming along the anti-sense strand of DNA. If the DNA molecule is undergoing replication, new DNA nucleotides will be forming along both original strands of DNA.

Yes, DNA is double-stranded.There are two strands. Each one is a polymer (series) of nucleotides, and the two strands twine round one another to form the DNA molecule.
