Summary Introduction

To describe:

The predictions for chemical properties of genetic material on a planet other than Earth, where life is found but the genetic material is not nucleic acid.

Introduction:

On Earth, each and every organism’s genetic material is made up of nucleic acid, either RNA as in microbes or DNA as in eukaryotes and others. The nucleic acids can undergo mutations which results in evolution. The nucleic acids are able to self replicate, which is necessary for a genetic material.
