Detailed explanation-1: -The RNA world hypothesis is supported by RNA’s ability both to store, transmit, and duplicate genetic information, as DNA does, and to perform enzymatic reactions, like protein-based enzymes.

Detailed explanation-2: -The discovery of ribozymes supported the RNA World Hypothesis. The strongest argument for proving the hypothesis is perhaps that the ribosome, which assembles proteins, is itself a ribozyme.

Detailed explanation-3: -The RNA world hypothesis-which postulates that RNA with both genetic information and catalytic activity had an essential role in the origin of life-is now supported by many scientists. Two seminal papers published in the early 1990s investigated this hypothesis using different approaches.

Detailed explanation-4: -According to the RNA world hypothesis, ribonucleic acid is the first genetic material where all genetic information was stored and first life arose from it. It is a self-replicating molecule. In simple words, RNA is the precursor to the every life form that exists today on the earth.
