Question

Give some points to prove that RNA is the first genetic material

Open in App
Solution

Dear student,

RNA is the first genetic material because:
(i) It is capable of both storing genetic information and catalysing chemical reactions.
(ii) Essential life processes such as metabolism, translation, splicing, etc., have evolved around RNA.
(iii) It can directly code for protein synthesis and hence can easily express the character.

Regards
