Unlike DNA, which is mainly double stranded, RNA is double stranded, although an RNA molecule can self-hybridize at certain regions to form partial double-stranded structures.

Unlike DNA, which is mainly double stranded, RNA is double stranded, although an RNA molecule can self-hybridize at certain regions to form partial double-stranded structures. Correct Answer False

RNA is single stranded, although an RNA molecule can self-hybridize at certain regions to form partial double-stranded structures. Generally, mRNA is more or less linear and non-structured, whereas rRNA and tRNA can only function by forming particular secondary and tertiary structures.
