If the genetic material is RNA, it will usually be single stranded. Only viruses contain double stranded RNA.
The main genetic material in eukaryotic cells (eg. animal cells) is DNA. Single stranded RNA copies of this (known as mRNA) are made in order for proteins to be synthesized.

What is the Reproduction of archaebacteria?
Archaebacteria reproduce asexually through binary fission, where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells. Some species of archaebacteria can also exchange genetic material through a process called horizontal gene transfer, which allows for genetic diversity within the population.
What results in progeny that inherit all the characteristics of a single parent?
Parthenogenesis. There are also a few species of animals that reproduce using the semen of similar species but the genetic material in the semen is not incorporated into the embryo. I don't remember the term for this type of reproduction but will ad it when I can.
How many genetic disorders are there?
There are thousands of known genetic disorders, estimated to be around 6,000-8,000. These disorders can range from single-gene mutations, to chromosomal abnormalities, to multifactorial disorders influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. Many genetic disorders are rare, affecting less than 1 in 2,000 individuals.
What are the differencess between asexual and sexual reproduction?
Asexual reproduction involves a single parent and produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent. Sexual reproduction involves two parents and produces offspring with genetic variation due to the combination of genetic material from both parents.
A example of asexual reproduction?
One example of asexual reproduction is binary fission in bacteria, where a single cell divides into two daughter cells with identical genetic material. This process allows for rapid population growth and is an efficient way for bacteria to reproduce under favorable conditions.
Is it true that the genetic material in DNA or RNA is single-stranded?
No, the genetic material in DNA is double-stranded, while RNA can be single-stranded.
Is the genetic material in living organisms double stranded, as found in DNA or RNA?
Yes, the genetic material in living organisms can be double stranded, as seen in DNA, or single stranded, as seen in RNA.
Does Virus contain both DNA and RNA?
Viruses can contain either DNA or RNA, but not both. DNA viruses have genetic material made of DNA, while RNA viruses have genetic material made of RNA. Some viruses have single-stranded genetic material, while others have double-stranded genetic material.
What is the genetic material that makes up a virus particle?
Two types of nucleic acids DNA and RNA.These can be double stranded or single stranded.
Is single-stranded DNA or RNA present in the genetic material of certain viruses?
Yes, single-stranded DNA or RNA is present in the genetic material of certain viruses.
What type of genetic material is involved in Ebola?
Ebola has a single stranded set of RNA
Viruses can be classifies by all of these methods except?
List the features you think they are not.Viruses are classified mainly on their genetic material, such as DNA or RNA with its strand specificity single stranded or double stranded.
What are the differences between single-stranded and double-stranded DNA in terms of their structure and functions?
Single-stranded DNA consists of one strand of nucleotides, while double-stranded DNA has two complementary strands. Single-stranded DNA is often involved in processes like replication and transcription, while double-stranded DNA is more stable and carries genetic information.
Is RNA double stranded or single stranded?
RNA is typically single-stranded, unlike DNA which is double-stranded.
Are plasmids single or double stranded?
Plasmids can be either single or double stranded, but most commonly they are double stranded.
Does paramyxovirus contain RNA or DNA?
Paramyxoviruses contain single-stranded RNA as their genetic material.
Is DNA double stranded or single stranded?
DNA is double stranded.
