Both DNA and RNA can exist in the double helix form, but only DNA is completely stable as a double helix. The double helix RNA is usually only short "hairpin" sections folding back on itself, never the long essentially linear form of double helix DNA.

What is the major difference between normal DNA double helix and RNA double helix?

The major difference is that RNA is usually single-stranded while DNA is double-stranded. Additionally, RNA contains uracil as one of its bases instead of thymine found in DNA. RNA is also usually more transient and involved in a wider variety of functions than DNA.

When RNA polymerase binds to DNA what happens to the double helix?

When RNA polymerase binds to DNA, it unwinds a small segment of the double helix to expose the DNA template strand. This allows the polymerase to move along the template and synthesize an RNA strand complementary to the template strand.


What is complementary sequence?

When DNA and/or RNA are in the double helix configuration each helix is the complementary sequence of the other.
