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
Nope. The nucleotides in DNA thymine, cytosine, guanine and adenine are grouped into batches of three which act like a byte in a computer program for assembling a protein, each of these codons represents a start, an amino acid or a stop instruction resulting in the correct sequence of amino acids being assembled to complete the protein. RNA is needed to just copy the relevant assembly instructions rather than using the entire IKEA catalogue. https://youtu.be/DfaPwWCvN5s
