The information in most genes produces a functional molecule by flowing from DNA to RNA to protein. However, some RNAs do not code for a protein and instead are themselves functional molecules. What is the most general term for RNAs that do NOT code for a protein?

If the protein coding region of a human gene is inserted into a bacterium with appropriate regulatory sequences to get it transcribed and translated, the polypeptide produced will have the same amino acid sequence as is produced in a human cell. What feature of the genetic code makes this so?

Watson and Crick proposed a structural model of DNA with nitrogenous bases from opposite strands paired at the center of the double helix. Two predictions, 1) that pairing occurs between purine and pyrimidine bases and 2) that pairing occurs between A and T bases and between G and C bases, allowed the model to conform to which two key pieces of data, respectively?
