Since Watson and Crick described DNA in 1953, which of the following statements might best explain why the function of small RNAs is still being explained?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Advances in technology and our ability to determine the full extent of DNA expression have made it possible to study small RNAs and their functions in more detail. While RNA has indeed evolved, it is not the only reason for the ongoing research in this area. Watson and Crick did not initially predict a function for RNA, but this is not the sole reason for ongoing research in this area either. The sequencing of the human genome has played a role in enabling the study of small RNAs, but it is not the only factor at play, nor is there any ethical constraint preventing further study in this area.
