My question is "how did DNA and RNA evolve."! !

Have you ever wondered how we are all di"erent but also look similar to the ones we are related to? The answer to that is quite simple. It's called DNA. The people who we are related to have similar DNA to us. Your relatives DNA is tweaked to make up what YOU look like and to make up who we are individually. Painstakingly evolved synthetic polymerases that could copy DNA into XNA and other polymerases that could copy XNA back into DNA. DNA and RNA are the only molecule known to carry genetic information. In the early RNA world, RNA copied itself, not by matching individual units of the molecules (as in modern DNA), but by matching short strings units. ! ! ! Painstakingly evolved synthetic polymerases that could copy DNA into XNA and other polymerases that could copy XNA back into DNA. This is meaning that there is other enzymes that make DNA into XNA. Same with XNA but it turns it into DNA. DNA and also another molecule named RNA are the only molecule that carry genetic information. ! ! RNA and DNA are thee only molecule that's known to carry genetic information. DNA and RNA have been studied for many years and have found out that there is no other molecule that carries genetic information but something close to it they found is XNA. XNA is similar to them but slightly tweaked. When RNA copies the genetic information it used to match short strings units, not like today where it matches individual units of the molecules.! ! ! In the early RNA world, RNA copied itself, not by matching individual units of the molecules (as in modern DNA), but by matching short strings units. Before we had the RNA match the individual units of molecules, we had them match short strings units. Which meant the copied themselves. They were like already made and easier to copy.! ! Conclusion! DNA and RNA evolve through out the years from where they started which was when RNA copied themselves, and also when they nd similar
