• A. It is chemically and structurally stable.
• B. It provides scope for mutations leading to evolution.
• C. It can replicate.
• D. All of the above.

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above.

Both DNA and RNA fulfill the general criteria considered essential to be called genetic material. They replicate, are chemically and structurally stable (through every stage of life), provide scope for mutations which lead to evolution, and can express themselves in the form of Mendelian characters.
