mRNA
No, RNA is a single-stranded molecule.
No, RNA is not always single stranded. It can exist as single stranded or double stranded depending on its function and structure.
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.
No, DNA is a double-stranded molecule consisting of two strands that are twisted together in a helical structure.
Generally the DNA molecule is double stranded to RNA's single strand. The RNA molecule uses uracil as a base while the DNA molecule uses thymine. RNA has catabolic properties that allow it to act in things such a ribosomes and tRNA. DNA is just a carrier of the genetic information.

Either DNA, or RNA, depending on the virus.
No, single stranded DNA molecules aren't considered antiparallel. Antiparallel refers to the orientation of the two strands in a double-stranded DNA molecule, where one runs 5' to 3' and the other runs 3' to 5'. Single-stranded DNA is usually unidirectional and doesn't have a complementary strand to be antiparallel to.
A single helix molecule is a molecule that has a spiral shape resembling a single coil or spring. One common example is the DNA molecule, which consists of a single helix structure formed by its two intertwined strands.
In biotechnology, "ss" typically refers to single-stranded DNA or RNA. Single-stranded refers to a molecule that is composed of a single chain of nucleotides, as opposed to double-stranded which consists of two complementary strands. Single-stranded nucleic acids play various important roles in processes like transcription and RNA interference.
mRNA, or messenger RNA, is a single-stranded molecule that typically has a linear shape.
Transcription is the process where a single-stranded RNA molecule is synthesized from the template DNA strand. It occurs in the cell nucleus and is catalyzed by the enzyme RNA polymerase.
A single stranded RNA molecule that encodes the information to make a protein is called messenger RNA (mRNA). This molecule serves as a template for protein synthesis during translation in the ribosomes of a cell.
