DNA and RNATranscription is the process of making mRNA. They are doubled-stranded due to the hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic forces of non-polar molecules. Single stranded DNA also exists in the lab by heating them so that they are denatured.

amphipathic moleculebecause in a bilayer you have all the hydrophilic heads at the exterior and the hydrophobic tails together on the inside. In a monolayer, you have the hydrophilic heads on one side and the hydrophobic tails on the other, so one of the sides has to be hydrophobic.
