Exceptions e.g. -viruses can have d.s DNA, s.s DNA, d.sRNA, s.sRNA
Of the 3 types of RNA found in the cell, -all SS - but can form base pairs :
- e.g transfer RNA (tRNA) - has intramolecular base pairs
"if one were to write down the sequence of bases in one strand of DNA, one immediately
knows the sequence of bases of the strand to which it is base paired".
Mechanism: -one strand is a Template for the other during DNA replication.
