Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Can genetic material be double or single-strand of DNA?
A
Double
B
Single
C
Both
D
Neither
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -However, DNA can be either double-stranded or a single strand of DNA (ssDNA ).

Detailed explanation-2: -There are two kinds of DNAs, single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) and double-stranded DNA (dsDNA). Accordingly, the DNA binding proteins usually consist of single-stranded DNA-binding proteins (SSBs) and double-stranded DNA-binding proteins (DSBs).

Detailed explanation-3: -The directionality of the DNA is also important in governing various cellular processes, for example DNA replication and protein synthesis. The strands of DNA in the double-helix run in opposite directions and genes can be encoded on either strand.

Detailed explanation-4: -Each molecule of DNA is a double helix formed from two complementary strands of nucleotides held together by hydrogen bonds between G-C and A-T base pairs. Duplication of the genetic information occurs by the use of one DNA strand as a template for formation of a complementary strand.

Detailed explanation-5: -It has single-stranded spiral RNA which serves as the genetic material.
