Which of the following best sums up the characteristics of genetic material?
Genetic material must possess the capacity for replication, be chemically and structurally stable, and manifest Mendelian traits.
Genetic material needs to be highly mutagenic, chemically reactive, and capable of replication.
Genetic material must possess the capacity for gradual alterations, replication, and molecular-directed polymerization.
Genetic material must be able to display Mendelian traits, be chemically and physically stable, and prefer RNA over DNA for storing information.
The genetic material should be capable of replication, chemical and structural stability, and Mendelian character expression. The right response is Option A since it accurately summarises these requirements. Hence option 1 is the correct answer.
