Questions
Which of the following feature makes the RNA chemically more reactive and structurally less stable nucleic acid than DNA?
detailed solution
Correct option is D
RNA used to act as a genetic material as well as a catalyst (there are some important biochemical reactions in living systems that are catalysed by RNA catalysts and not by protein enzymes). But, RNA being a catalyst was reactive and hence unstable. Therefore, DNA has evolved from RNA with chemical modifications that make it more stable.Talk to our academic expert!
