Respuesta :

DNA is a double helical whereas RAN is a single helical structure

Answer: The correct statement is  DNA forms a double helix; RNA consists of a single strand.

Explanation:

DNA is known as deoxy ribonucleic acid. The nitrogenous bases that DNA molecule contain are adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine. This molecule forms double helix structure. This molecule consists of two strands that wind around each other to form double helix structure like a twisted ladder. This molecule contains genetic information.

RNA is known as ribonucleic acid. the nitrogenous bases that RNA molecule contain are adenine, uracil, cytosine and guanine. This molecule forms single stranded structure. This molecule acts as a messenger between the genes present in DNA and their protein product.

From the above information, the correct statement is DNA forms a double helix; RNA consists of a single strand.
