The genetic material should be stable and the mutations should be inheritable.
DNA is better genetic material as it is made of deoxyribose pentose sugar which contains 1 OH group in the nucleotide chain which makes it more stable and less reactive whereas in case of RNA 2 OH groups are present as it is made of ribose pentose sugar which makes it more reactive and less stable than DNA.
