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.

Answer:

Industrial Revolution

Explanation:

In the 18th century, the industrial revolution took place. People started having more jobs than before and also getting paid for their labor. As the workers and employees were getting paid and jobs were available because of the industrial revolution, people started buying goods for their families. As a result, the standard of living also went up. Also, there was enough food for families to grow. As a result, the total population increased. In the 18th century, for the first time, the total population reached 1 billion landmarks.

When a molecule of doubled stranded DNA undergoes replication, results in
likoan [24]
The process of DNA replication begins with one double-stranded molecule of DNA. The two strands of this molecule separate during replication, and DNA polymerases add complementary nucleotides to each strand. The end results of DNA replication are two identical DNA molecules
