The RNA world hypothesis states that the earlier life-forms had relied only on RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) for the purpose of catalyzing the chemical reactions, and storing the genetic information. This hypothesis was proposed by Leslie Orgel, Carl Woese, and Francis Crick.

This hypothesis states that long before the living forms evolved to use DNA as the genetic storage material, the RNA molecules served the purpose of both storing the genetic information and carrying out catalysis, but because of its instability, DNA evolved.

Hence, the answer is RNA world hypothesis.

Tanya [424]

For example:  GGATACCTAGGTAAT

Insertion: GGAT<u>G</u>ACCTAGGTAAT

a nucleotide that was not present before is inserted into the original sequence

Substitution: <u>C</u>GATACCTAGGTAAT

the first nucleotide was substituted in for another (C for G)

Frameshift (basically a insertion or deletion, we'll try deletion here): GATACCTAGGTAAT

the first nucleotide was deleted, causing the reading frame to be shifted (instead of GGA as the first codon, we have GAT)
