DNA vs RNA: Storage and Transmission — NEET Biology
📚 Practice ConceptFor the transmission of genetic information, RNA is better.
Assertion (A): DNA is the preferred molecule for storage of genetic information. Reason (R): RNA is better for storage while DNA is better for transmission of genetic information.
View solution & NCERT explanation
Correct answer: C — If assertion is true but reason is false.
NCERT states “DNA being more stable is preferred for storage of genetic information” making the Assertion true. However, NCERT explicitly states “For the transmission of genetic information, RNA is better” and “DNA being more stable is preferred for storage” - the Reason reverses these roles, making it false.
