mRNA, or messenger RNA is single stranded, and so are transfer RNA, snRNA, hnRNA, and ribosomal RNA. The exception are some viral RNA's, that can be double stranded. Remember that despite having Uracil instead of Thymine, RNA can base pair anyway, just like in the case of the beforementioned RNA-viruses.

Yes, RNA is generally single-stranded, although it can fold back on itself to form secondary structures. This single-stranded nature allows RNA to interact with other molecules and play various roles in the cell, such as serving as a messenger for gene expression or as a catalytic molecule in enzymatic reactions.

RNA or Ribonucleic Acid can occur in both single stranded and double stranded forms. It occurs in Humans most often as single stranded for copying and translating DNA. However in some viruses, double stranded RNA is their genetic code.
