- Given below are two statements: Statement I: In the RNA world, RNA is considered the first genetic material evolved to carry out essential life processes. RNA acts as a genetic material and also as a catalyst for some important biochemical reactions in living systems. Being reactive, RNA is unstable.
Statement II: DNA evolved from RNA and is a more stable genetic material. Its double helical strands being complementary, resist changes by evolving repair mechanisms. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:- NEET (UG) - 2025

Concepts Used:
Birth Control
The execution of different methods or tools which may include drugs, surgical procedures in either males, females, or both to prevent conception is known as birth control.
Types of Birth Control Methods:
There are different types of birth control methods such as;
- The natural way of birth control
- The barrier method
- The Hormonal method
- Intrauterine devices or IUD
- Other surgical methods
Side effects of contraception:
- Every type of contraception has side effects.
- For females, the IUD has the least intensity of side effects. It is a long-term method that can be taken out at any time.
- For males, the most common, cheapest, and very easy to use is the male condom. The only drawback, it is not 100% efficient in preventing pregnancy.
