If there are two pathogenic viruses, one with $DNA$ and other with $RNA$, which would mutate faster ? And Why ?
Option A
Option B
Option C
Option D
Solution
Both $DNA$ and $RNA$ are able to mutate
In fact, $RNA$ being unstable, mutate at a faster rateas it is a single strand molecule.
Consequently, viruses having $RNA$ genome and having shorter life span mutate and evolve faster.
