garri49 [273]

A single stranded DNA  (oligonucleotides) can hybridize with (d) both complementary DNA and complementary RNA.

DNA is the Deoxyribonucleic Acid. It is the genetic material present in majority of organisms. The nitrogenous bases present in DNA are: Adenine, thymine, Guanine and Cytosine.  DNA is a double stranded structure hence it forms hydrogen bonds with a complementary strand. The complementary strand can be of a DNA or RNA.

RNA is the Ribonucleic Acid. It also is a genetic material present in very few organisms. RNA is less stable than the DNA and may be either single stranded or double stranded. The nitrogenous bases of RNA are: Adenine Uracil, Guanine and Cytosine.
