Describe a significant problem that slown down RNA self-replciation in free sea water. How was this problem solved by liposomes (protcells)?
Certain mutations called amber in bacteria and viruses result in premature termination of polypeptide chains during translation. Many amber mutationshave been detected at different points along the gene thatcodes for a head protein in phage T4. How might this system be further investigated to demonstrate and support the concept ofcolinearity?
