If you're stuck somewhere with no way of getting anywhere else, you're stranded. If you run out of gas while driving in the desert, you'll be stranded until someone finds you. Good luck! If you're stranded, you probably experienced some kind of transportation failure.
It depends what you mean by double stranded. If you mean two separate RNA strands, perfectly complementary to one another and existing as a basepaired structure in the cytoplasm, then no. Double stranded RNA like that only occurs in some types of viruses (and cells infected by them... so I guess the cytoplasm of a cell infected by a double stranded virus might have a lot of this kind of double stranded RNA). However, if you mean double stranded in the sense of a single RNA molecule folding back on itself and basepairing with itself - forming stem loops and more complicated structures - that kind of RNA double-strandedness is extremely common. All tRNA's and rRNA's for example exhibit this kind of double-strandedness. Nucleic acids are unstable in single stranded states and will spontaneously fold back on themselves if there is no other strand to basepair with. Nucleic acids are inherently unstable in a single stranded state. Thus,
Stranded in the Jungle was created in 1956.
X-ray crystallography
It would be single stranded when it has been synthetically made like a probe.
No, chimpanzees, like all organisms, have double-stranded DNA in their cells. Double-stranded DNA consists of two strands of nucleotides that are complementary and form a double helix structure. Single-stranded DNA is rare in organisms and is usually found transiently during processes like replication or transcription.
Some of the words that tie in with stranded, are isolated, abandoned. E.G, The poor disheveled boy was stranded on an antidelluvial island... The feeling of being stranded/lost. : )
stranded where? stranded where? stranded where?
DNA is double stranded.
DNA is double stranded.
RNA is typically single-stranded, unlike DNA which is double-stranded.
Having double stranded DNA means that the DNA molecule consists of two strands that are twisted together in a double helix structure. This is the typical structure of DNA found in living organisms. Single stranded DNA, on the other hand, consists of just one strand of DNA. Double stranded DNA is more stable and less prone to errors during replication compared to single stranded DNA.

No, RNA is not always single stranded. It can exist as single stranded or double stranded depending on its function and structure.
Leaving you high and dry is leaving you stranded, like a boat out of water.
to be stranded is to have no familiar place to go
The DNA in a virus can be either single-stranded or double-stranded, depending on the type of virus.
It means driven or left aground (a ship, fish) or stuck, left in a helpless position, e.g. He was stranded in the middle of nowhere. Another synonym could be "marooned."The word can also mean "composed of strands," such as a stranded rope or wire (braided).
