The correct response describing the differences between the structures of DNA and RNA is:
**DNA has a double helix structure, while RNA is a single stranded structure.**
To clarify further, DNA contains deoxyribose sugar, while RNA contains ribose sugar. Additionally, DNA has thymine, while RNA has uracil instead. The statement regarding linear structure in DNA and double-stranded RNA is incorrect because RNA is typically single-stranded, not double-stranded.
So, the main differences are:
1. **Structure**: DNA is double-stranded (double helix), whereas RNA is single-stranded.
2. **Sugar**: DNA contains deoxyribose, while RNA contains ribose.
3. **Nitrogenous Bases**: DNA contains thymine; RNA contains uracil instead of thymine.
