Given below are two statements.
Statement I : RNA being unstable, mutate at a faster rate.
Statement II : RNA can directly code for synthesis of proteins hence can easily express the characters.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Both statement I and II are correct.
SI: RNA is generally less stable than DNA and can mutate at a faster rate. RNA molecules are more prone to enzymatic degradation and can be more susceptible to environmental factors, leading to a higher mutation rate compared to DNA. 

SII: RNA has the ability to directly code for the synthesis of proteins through the process of translation. This is in contrast to DNA, which requires an intermediate step of transcription to produce RNA before translation can occur. The direct coding ability of RNA allows for relatively rapid and efficient expression of genetic information into proteins.
