No it’s the other way around .

RNA is much shorter than DNA. DNA contains the code for making lots and lots of different proteins. Messenger RNA contains the information to make just one single polypeptide chain - in other words for just one protein, or even just a part of a protein if it is made up of more than one polypeptide chain.

boyakko [2]

Yes. the nucleotides are A, T, G, and C. A and T pair up and G and C pair up. For instance, if your known strand is AGTCAG then the second strand would have to be TCAGTC. Also, if there is a U in the strand, it takes the place of T. so the original strand would be AGTCAG and the unknown would have to be UCAGUC.
