Give scientific reasons: It is likely that $DNA$ evolved from $RNA$.

(N/A) $RNA$ was the first genetic material. Essential life processes like metabolism and translation evolved around $RNA$. $RNA$ acts as both a genetic material and a catalyst (ribozyme). However,$RNA$ is reactive and unstable as a catalyst.
Due to this,$DNA$ evolved from $RNA$ through chemical modifications,making it more stable. Furthermore,$DNA$ is resistant to mutations due to its double-stranded structure and the evolution of repair mechanisms.
