Question

Explain why natural selection has favored the instability of RNA.

Short answer

Natural selection has favored the instability of RNA (ribonucleic acid) by controlling the gene in vivo helps to regulate gene expression.

Step-by-step solution

Introduction to natural selection

• Natural selection is a differential way of survival and reproduction of individuals due to changes in phenotype. It is a major evolutionary process, a genetic mutation that symbolizes population density from generation to generation.
• Throughout human life, their genomes interact with their environment to produce genetic diversity. The genome environment includes molecular biology in a cell, other cells, other people, humans, animal species, and the environment.

Explanation

• Genetic expression and translation are influenced by the stability of messenger RNA (mRNA) in almost all living things.
• RNA vulnerability of the expression by degrading mRNA (messenger RNA) degradation.
• If RNA is at risk of degradation and is stable, translation will continue even when the coded proteins are not needed by the cell.
