Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

One of the leading theories for the origin of life is that the first self-replicating molecules were RNA molecules. In an RNA world, RNA would have both informational and catalytic functions. This means that RNA could store genetic information and also catalyze chemical reactions necessary for life. Proteins would have likely developed later as more efficient catalysts, but in the RNA world, RNA was capable of both functions.
