Which property among these listed below is not a criteria for a molecule to act as a genetic material?
Generate its replica
Chemically and structurally stable
Mutate slowly to facilitate evolution
Express itself in the form of Mendelian characters
Express itself in the form of Mendelian characters
E.
Destroy itself after every cell cycle
For a biomolecule to act as genetic material it is important that it should be stable so that it can be passed on to progenies as genetic information of the parental traits and traits of the species.
