Single-stranded? Wouldn't that be RNA?

[-] IrritableOcelot@beehaw.org 3 points 3 days ago

Nope. RNA is chemically different: different sugar in the backbone, and there are wayyyy more than 4 RNA bases (like 12 iirc)

Nice. I learned something new today ๐Ÿ™‚

Not sure where I picked up my belief that RNA was just one side of DNA.

It is how it's generally taught in schools, which is unfortunate.
