If<span> you </span>water<span> a </span>plant<span> with </span>salt water<span>, it will wilt, and will eventually die. This is due to the fact that the </span>salt water<span> is a hypertonic solution when compared to the </span>plant<span> cells, and </span>water<span> inside the </span>plant<span> cells will diffuse by osmosis out of the cells in order to reduce the concentration of the </span>salt<span> solution.</span>
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.
