There apparently is a relatively clear-cut relationship between DNA and sites of "genetic ; The strongest direct evidence for this is the fact that in some strains of bacteria it has been clearly shown that highly purified DNA can transmit genetic material. RNA appears to be intimately associated with protein synthesis but exactly what this relationship is has yet to be determined (see Chapter 4 for GENERAL MORPHOLOGY AND CHEMISTRY OF THE CELL / 17.
