Many, many years ago, I was taking a bio course in college, we were learning about DNA and RNA, and I noticed that RNA never creates a double strand, and was always curious. What is it that is chemically or otherwise different that prevents RNA from creating a double strand like its counterpart DNA? I asked the professor at the time, but never was given an answer other than IDK.

It has an extra oxygen atom so it cants bond to other strands. Hence DE-Oxy Ribo nucleic acid (DNA)
