The answer appears as a continuous sentence in NCERT. This is that sentence.
How this line gives the answer
0, emb=1.0, combined=1.0). Verified: high — The span 'Both DNA and RNA are able to mutate.' directly supports Statement I by confirming RNA can mutate, and the full paragraph explicitly states 'RNA being unstable, mutate at a faster rate' and 'RNA can directly code for the synthesis of proteins, hence can easily express the characters,' which conclusively proves both statements are true.
