Is RNA single or double strand?
RNA is single stranded. DNA is double stranded. There are many types of RNA including mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA. mRNA and tRNA are involved in protein synthesis and the process of translation. mRNA and tRNA bind to the ribosome and form polypeptides or proteins that are released into the cell.
Which molecule is always single stranded?
RNA is always single stranded. DNA, on the other hand, can exist as either single-stranded or double-stranded.
IS HPV single or double stranded?
circular double stranded DNA protected by capsid proteins
Is DNA usually single-stranded?
DNA is double stranded Except in bacteria and some viruses and chloroplast and mitochondrial DNA
Is single stranded DNA more stable than double stranded DNA?
No, double stranded DNA is more stable than single stranded DNA because the hydrogen bonding between complementary base pairs in double stranded DNA provides stability and protection against environmental factors. Single stranded DNA is more prone to damage and degradation.

Is DNA a single-stranded and if not what is?
no..it's double-stranded..
Is astrovirus single or double stranded?
single stranded RNA (positive sense)
Which molecule is always single stranded?
RNA is always single stranded. DNA, on the other hand, can exist as either single-stranded or double-stranded.
Structure of tRNA different from DNA?
tRNA is a single-stranded molecule that folds into a cloverleaf shape, while DNA is double-stranded and forms a helical structure. tRNA carries amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis, whereas DNA carries genetic information. tRNA contains modified nucleotides and often has loops and stems that are crucial for its function in protein synthesis.

Is RNA found in a double stranded state in the cyoplasm?
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,
Does chickenpox have single-stranded or double-stranded DNA?
Varicella-zoster virus, the virus that causes chickenpox, has a double-stranded DNA genome.
Is single stranded DNA more stable than double stranded DNA?
No, double stranded DNA is more stable than single stranded DNA because the hydrogen bonding between complementary base pairs in double stranded DNA provides stability and protection against environmental factors. Single stranded DNA is more prone to damage and degradation.
What is a description of the structure of DNA and RNA?
DNA is double stranded whereas RNA is single stranded . They are different in their functioning as well .
Is the HIV virus double-stranded?
No, HIV is a retrovirus - it has a single-stranded RNA genome.
