Some scholars have viewed RNA as the original site of information storage in the primitive cell. One advantage of this view is that RNA can both store and can act catalytically like a(n) .

1. Genetic information

2. Protein

Explanation:

RNA world hypothesis was proposed by certain scientists due to their view of RNA being the original site of information storage in the primitive cell. This hypothesis was based on the self-replicating and catalytic abilities of the RNA molecule.

RNA was believed to be the main genetic material, with which life started with because of it's ability to store genetic information like DNA and catalyze chemical reactions like proteins. This is the major advantage of the RNA view as the original site of genetic information storage.

However, the DNA (genetic information storage) and protein (catalytic function) has recently taken over both roles from the RNA.
