To create a new person from chemicals, two DNA strands meet in the right place at the right time. They replicate, they entwine, they exchange pieces of each other. The result? A new strand of DNA, ready to clone itself into a new being. What begins as DNA-sex proceeds as DNA-cloning. After a few rounds of cloning, there’s enough DNA available to start building the person. DNA transforms into RNA. Small migrating factories translate RNA into amino acids strung together in a polypeptide chain. The chain clumps up into a functional protein. As the protein scientist says to the gene scientist, DNA may carry the blueprint, but proteins do the real work.
Quote:Ribonucleic acid, the most common form of nucleic acid used for storage of chemical energy, processing genetic information from genes (DNA) via messenger RNA (mRNA) into proteins. RNA is one of the most ancient form of molecular structures with enzymatic activity. As a matter of fact, protein biosynthesis is entirely controlled by RNA molecules including mRNA (genetic information), transfer RNA (tRNA) for translating the DNA code into amino acid code, and ribosomal RNA (rRNA) that provide the enzymatic linkage (chemical bond formation) of amino acids into proteins. The use of RNA probably precedes the use of proteins and most modern genomes (except for some viruses) are made of DNA instead of RNA but DNA can only be read by proteins. DNA is the more chemically stable of the two forms of nucleic acids.
You stick to numbers Gonzo and Hedcold you stick to computers or whatever you do.
