Open in App
Solution
RNA:
RNA is the single-stranded genetic material, found in bacteria and viruses.
In humans, it works as the adapter, enzymes, and mostly for the synthesis of proteins.
RNA also works as the messenger to transfer information.
The first one to introduce that RNA is genetic material is an American virologist,
Heinz Fraenkel-Conrat.
Two Germans, Alfred Gierer and Gerhard Schramm also came to the same conclusion in 1956.
