Q.
Given below are two statements: [2023]
Statement I: RNA mutates at a faster rate.
Statement II: Viruses having RNA genome and shorter life span mutate and evolve faster.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

1 Statement I is true but Statement II is false.

2 Statement I false but Statement II is true.

3 Both Statement I and Statement II are true.

4 Both Statement I and Statement II are false.

Ans.
(3)

Both DNA and RNA are able to mutate. RNA being a catalyst is reactive and unstable and mutates at a faster rate. Consequently, viruses having RNA genome and having shorter life span mutate and evolve faster.
