Once DNA evolved, why did it become the primary means of transmitting genetic information?

Discoveries have shown that early RNA in the primative Earth had the ability to replicate itself, synthesize proteins, and function as information storage. After the development of DNA, why did DNA become the primary means for transmitting genes? Why/How did DNA develop anyway?

How do i go about getting a DNA test done?

My boyfriend has a 3 yr old son from a previous relationship but he isn't sure if the boy is really his. The mother doesn't let my bf talk to the boy and surprisingly has NOT asked for any kind of child support. We WANT to take care of the little boy or see him regularly if it is my boyfriends. The boy is in another state. Where do we start with DNA tests and how much does it cost?

What is the arrangement of DNA in bacteria and viruses?

Admin — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 03:28:50 +0000

I know that bacteria does not have a nucleus, and so DNA is dispersed in the cytoplasm. The DNA is arranged in circular plasmids, but the plasmids can also be linear. The DNA is shorter, there are no introns, and so it is more compact compared to the DNA of eukaryotic cells.

As for viruses (which have DNA), DNA is arranged in the capsid. Can be circular or linear. (?...not sure)

Anything else I could add or subtract?

Your help would be appreciated.
