Dna Vs Rna As Genetic Material

A molecule that can act as a genetic material must fulfill the traits given below, except:

1.	it should be able to express itself in the form of 'Mendelian characters'
2.	it should be able to generate its replica
3.	it should be unstable structurally and chemically
4.	it should provide the scope for slow changes that are required for evolution

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:

1.	Statement I is false but Statement II is true.
2.	Both Statement I and Statement II are true.
3.	Both Statement I and Statement II are false.
