Question

evaluate the suitability DNA and RNA as genetic material and justify the suitability of the one that is preferred as ideal genetic materials
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Presence of 2'-OH group and uracil make RNA more reactive and structurally less stable than DNA. Therefore, DNA is a better genetic material than RNA. ... In fact, RNA being unstable, mutates at a faster rate. Consequently, viruses having RNA genome and having shorter life span mutate and evolve faster.
