How can single-stranded DNA form complementary base pairs with single-stranded RNA?

Single-stranded DNA can form complementary base pairs with single-stranded RNA through a process called hybridization. This occurs when the nucleotide bases in the DNA and RNA molecules match up in a specific way: adenine (A) pairs with uracil (U), and cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G). This allows the two strands to bind together temporarily, forming a stable double-stranded structure.
