Which of the following is not a predicted stage of the RNA World
hypothesis?
a. Natural selection and genetic mutations lead to
self-replication of RNA within confined vesicles, forming the first
"living" cells b. DNA strands accumulate on clay minerals, allowing
for their concentration in large bodies of water c. RNA evolves to
DNA, leading to a greater ability to adapt, evolve, and survive d.
RNA concentrates in vesicles, allowing for additional chemical
reactions to occur while protected from the environment
