Question

The first genetic material on earth was probably ________. the first genetic material on earth was probably ________. self-replicating rna molecules oligopeptides located within protocells dna molecules whose information was transcribed to rna and later translated in polypeptides dna produced by reverse transcriptase from abiotically produced rna

Answer 1

Self-replicating RNA molecules

Answer 2

Answer: Self-replicating RNA

RNA can do catalytic functions like enzymes. It carries genetic information and replicate itself. It also carries information about vesicles which carries it. RNA is less stable than DNA which confirms that genetic material is evolved from a less stable to highly stable form.
