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.

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.
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.
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.
