Outline on Iportant subjects in DNA and RNA - Nucleic Acids and Protein Synthesis 7-1 DNA         Cells 'know' how to how to produce ATP, how to build cilia and centrioles, how to produce membranes and enzymes.         A program, or code, in living cells must be able to duplicate itself quickly and accurately and must also have a means of being decoded and put into effect. The Genetic Code         Biologists call the program of the cell …showed first 75 words of 1727 total…

In the nucleus, DNA directs the formation of three different kinds of RNA: transfer RNA, ribosomal RNA, and messenger RNA. They all leave the nucleus and then seem to go their separate ways.
