and cut the introns off. To make this happen, these protein
complexes have to compare the prescription they carry with the
information copied from the DNA and by this means identify
these elements. If you were given two long lists of letters and

asked to identify the superfluous ones, you would have to exam-
ine both lists very carefully and check one against the other, line
by line. To do this, you have to recognize the letters, understand
the wanted data, and be conscious of why you are doing what.
For that reason, you should not be deceived by reading the giant
combined molecule it selects," "vends," or "ejects" in any biology

textbook or documentary. What is actually doing the compar-
ing, identifying, examining, distinguishing, selecting, bending
and ejecting are unconscious substances that consist of inani-
mate materials, such as carbon, nitrogen and phosphate, under
the command of God.

This is by no means the end of the amazing and extraordi-
nary events that take place during the copying for the DNA req-
uisition. The copying process has to be halted, or else the poly-
merase enzyme will copy the DNA from beginning to end. At
the end of the protein encoding gene is a codon that indicates
its end. (Every three letters making up the code in DNA is

known as one codon.) When the RNA polymerase comes to a
codon (UAA, UAG or UGA), it understands that it has to cease
copying and separates the DNA from the messenger RNA car-
rying the necessary message to construct the protein. At this
point, however, it has to act with the greatest care. The messen-

ger RNA must now leave the cell nucleus and travel to the ribo-
some where production will take place. In this process, the mes-
sage it carries must not be harmed. Therefore, it emerges from
the cell nucleus protected of certain special molecules.
