Hypothesis that attempts to explain how early Genetic Material formed. This hypothesis proposes that RNA, rather than DNS, was the genetic material that stored information in living things on Early Earth.

Here is the answer to this question:

According to the RNA World Hypothesis, life later evolved to use DNA and proteins due to RNA's relative instability and poorer catalytic properties, and gradually, ribozymes became increasingly phased out. The ribosome, a large molecular machine that drives protein synthesis, is a ribozyme.

I hope this helps you
