The two correct answers that highlight the differences between DNA and RNA are:
1. **DNA is double-stranded and RNA is single-stranded.** - This is a fundamental difference in their structure; DNA typically forms a double helix, whereas RNA usually exists as a single strand.
2. **DNA contains all of your genetic information, and RNA contains none.** - DNA serves as the primary carrier of genetic information in cells, while RNA is typically involved in translating that information into proteins, thus it does not carry the complete genetic blueprint.
The other options provided are inaccurate regarding the complexity or composition of DNA and RNA.
