The encoding of genetic information by
Introduction:
The genetic information can be stored in the form of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) in the living cells. The DNA can self-replicate and can be transmitted from parents to offspring. The changes in DNA takes place in the form of mutations, which changes the function and structure of organisms and it further leads to evolution.
To discuss:
The reason that the carbohydrates or proteins are not used as genetic material.
