I guess they take a longer path to ensure that the things are controlled and replication is accurate. But is it possible to implement these checks and processes directly in DNA to proteins?
In: Biology
Most DNA strands are going to be too long to fit in the Ribosomes that produce proteins. Also RNA isn’t just used to transport the genetic code it also carries out the work of decoding the genetic code and chemically creating proteins.
If you wished to “simplify” the process you could use RNA to do everything. RNA can replicate, it can act as an emzine, can be structural and it can to all the transcription and synthesis.
