Which double helix will denature first? DNA-DNA;DNA-RNA;RNA-RNA?

DNA-RNA RNA bind to complementary DNA sequences but because it uses uridine instead of thymine pair will not bind as stably and will denature before the other two combinations. This is uming that all three pairs have 100% sequence identity minus the uridine-thymine substitution from RNA-DNA
