DNA and RNA are nucleic acids that cells and viruses use to produce copies of themselves. However, there is an immense paucity of knowledge on how these nucleic acids originated and changed as early bacteria became capable of growth and cell division. One possibility is that parallel evolution of the genetic code and protein synthesis was required for assembly of the first cells capable of growth...
