What makes RNA viruses so dangerous?

The coronavirus is an RNA virus. An RNA is chemically more susceptible than a DNA. Errors occur more frequently during copying, and the virus mutates.

TRANSCRIPTION - 1st part of PROTEIN BIOSYNTHESIS

In this video, I explain the transcription process, the molecular difference between RNA and DNA molecules, why RNA molecules contain the base uracil instead of thymine, and where transcription takes place in cells. For simplicity, I will not explain RNA processing, the process of splicing, and the

The origin of life

For life to develop, it needs amino acids, sugars, bases and fats. In addition, RNA, an acid and a kind of chemical Morse code - this is how chains with building blocks are created. But it is only a protective lipid shell that turns the chains into a cell. Author: ZDF/Terrax/R. Schlosshan/F. Hädeck

NOVA: What Darwin Never Knew | Switching Genes On and Off

In this video segment adapted from NOVA, evolutionary scientist Sean Carroll investigates why one species of fruit fly has wing spots while another genetically similar one does not. As the video explains, although two organisms may both possess the same gene linked to a particular trait, this trait
