Because the RNA molecules that are in most organisms can’t replicate themselves. Further, the RNA molecule that is in most organisms can’t transcribe its information on the DNA.

The DNA molecule readily replicates itself under the right conditions. The reason that DNA molecules replicate themselves much easier than RNA molecules is because DNA has a double helix structure.

The double helix can unzip down the middle, creating two molecules with complementary information.The RNA is generally a single string of base pairs. RNA isn’t double anything. So an RNA molecule usually can’t divide into two molecules with complementary informaiton.

That being said:

RNA molecules in some virus species can replicate itself. This RNA can transcribe information onto the DNA of the host organism.

RNA molecules with a certain structure under the right conditions can replicate themselves. However, replication in RNA is not as reliable as replication of DNA. That is one reason that RNA viruses mutate at a much faster rate than most DNA viruses.

Why are invasive species dangerous to the environment?
Tanzania [10]
Because if the new species is better at doing whatever the original species does, the original species can die because they are outcompeted by the new species, and because the new species is better, they can cause a further decline of for example the food supply that they're outcompeting the original species for. This can cause problems in the entire food web/ecosystem

A population of white, grey, and black lizards lives on a volcanic island, and each phenotypic color has an equal chance of surv
EleoNora [17]

I would say disruptive selection, because the sudden eruption of the volcano disrupted the circumstances of the lizards, allowing the black ones to survive better because of camouflage against the black rock.

Hope this helps!
