Solution

Genetic material:

  1. Nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA, are both genetic materials.
  2. The transfer of RNA from one place to another is simple, and it replicates at a faster pace.
  3. It has larger grooves than those present in DNA and hence it is easy for enzymes to act.
  4. Therefore, RNA is better for the transmission of genetic material.
