Which is correct RNA is genetic material?

Reason: TMV has RNA as genetic material.

What is true of both RNA and DNA?

One of the most significant similarities between DNA and RNA is that they both have a phosphate backbone to which the bases attach. Because of the phosphate group, this backbone is negatively charged—a quality many genetic techniques appreciate and exploit.

Why RNA is a genetic material?

In humans, RNA does not serve as genetic material, instead, it serves as an adaptor, an enzyme, and aids in protein synthesis, among other things. RNA serves as a messenger for the transmission of information. RNA carries genetic information as well, thus functioning as genetic material.

Is there genetic material in RNA?

As well as serving as genetic material, RNA has another critical function in virtually all organisms: it acts as a messenger; a short-lived intermediate communicating the information contained in our genes to the rest of the cell. Many genes need to be turned on in bursts.
