Given below are two statements:
Statement I: RNA mutates at a faster rate.
Statement II: Viruses having RNA genome and shorter life span mutate and evolve faster.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Both Statement I and Statement II are true.
Both Statement I and Statement II are false.
Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
Statement I false but Statement II is true.
Answers (1)
Option 1) Both Statement I and Statement II are true.
Both statements are correct. RNA generally mutates at a faster rate compared to DNA due to the inherent properties of RNA molecules. Viruses with RNA genomes tend to have higher mutation rates, and their shorter life spans allow for faster evolution through the accumulation of mutations. These mutations contribute to the diversity and adaptability of RNA viruses.
