DNA shows mRNA the
way by presenting it with
only the relevant informa-
tion. The regions depicted
by the numbers I, II, III, IV,
V, VI and VII contain irrel-
evant information. That is
why they coil out in loops
and are prevented from
being copied. Regions rep-
resented by the numbers 1,
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 are rele-
vant information presented
to the mRNA. Unconscious
