Question

What does the RNA world hypothesis state about ribozymes?Ribozymes were once less common than they are now. Over time, they are replacing protein functions.Ribozymes were once more common than they are now. They eventually got replaced by proteins.Ribozymes work on molecules that proteins cannot touch. Therefore, ribozymes will likely always exist in cells.Ribozymes evolved after some proteins in cells were disabled by genetic mutations.

Answer 1

The best option would be the third one,

Ribozymes work on molecules that proteins cannot touch. Therefore, ribozymes will likely always exist in cells.

Commonly known enzymes are proteins but it was later discovered that there are catalytic RNA molecules and these are called ribozymes. Ribozymes have the capability to catalyze specific biochemical reactions.
