Statement I: RNA mutates at a lower rate.
Statement II: Viruses having DNA genome and shorter life span mutate and evolve faster. Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
  • A
    Statement I false but Statement II is true.
  • B
    Both Statement I and Statement II are true.
  • Both Statement I and Statement II are false.
