Nucleic Acids can be single- or double-stranded. Double stranded DNA or dsDNA is shown in the top picture. The 2 strands are held together by hydrogen bonds between complementary bases on the strands. Complementary bases of 2 nucleotides are called base pairs: C pairs with G A pairs with T (which is in DNA only) A pairs with U (which is in RNA only) ? Typically, DNA is found in the double stranded DNA form, known as the characteristic DNA double helix, but can also exist in single stranded form. RNA commonly exists as a single-stranded molecule. In most bacterial cells, there are se
