There are many reasons why scientists think RNA came before DNA. RNA is found in viruses and some bacteria which were likely around before more complex organisms.

What must happen to a DNA molcule before RNA polymerase can make RNA?
nothing
What are two types of nucleic acid found the cell?
Deoxy-ribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA)
What is the name of the nucleotides have no DNA and no RNA?
Nucleotides do not have DNA or RNA. DNA and RNA are composed of nucleotides.
What is nucleic acid that stores and transmits genetic information?
While RNA can exist in a double stranded form, DNA functions as genetic information storage. In addition, DNA contains thymine (T), whereas RNA contains uracil (U), so the answer is DNA.
Is there another nucleic acid other than DNA and RNA?
Yes, more nucleic acids exist.
Why do scientists think RNA may have evolved before DNA?
because RNA depend to DNA.
Why could RNA evolve before DNA?
I think It's because RNA is less complex than DNA.
What must happen to a DNA molcule before RNA polymerase can make RNA?
nothing
What must happen to a DNA molecule before RNA polymerase can make RNA?
they dookey there pants
What are two types of nucleic acid found the cell?
Deoxy-ribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA)
Did RNA originate before DNA?
Scientist believe so.
What is the name of the nucleotides have no DNA and no RNA?
Nucleotides do not have DNA or RNA. DNA and RNA are composed of nucleotides.
What is a double helix DNA or RNA?
Both DNA and RNA can exist in the double helix form, but only DNA is completely stable as a double helix. The double helix RNA is usually only short "hairpin" sections folding back on itself, never the long essentially linear form of double helix DNA.
What enzyme transcribes DNA?
The enzyme that transcribes the DNA into RNA is called RNA polymerase.
A major difference in RNA as compared to DNA is?
RNA can move and DNA cant. DNA has a double helix strand and RNA is a single strand.
What is nucleic acid that stores and transmits genetic information?
While RNA can exist in a double stranded form, DNA functions as genetic information storage. In addition, DNA contains thymine (T), whereas RNA contains uracil (U), so the answer is DNA.
Is there another nucleic acid other than DNA and RNA?
Yes, more nucleic acids exist.
