As tissue X develops, it secrets something that induce tissue Y to develop indicating positive feedback mechanism. Related Theory Feedback mechanism is the mechanism of the body to maintain the levels of hormones in the body in the desired limits. An increase or decrease in the levels of the hormones triggers the feedback mechanism. Whenever there is a change in the normal state, the messages are sent to 'increase' secretions if there is a fall below normal or to 'decrease' secretions if there is a rise above normal to restore the normal body state. Such a mechanism is called a negative feedback mechanism.

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 repairing mechanism. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
