Acomplex protein-rich cell shelters and supports the dna genetic code, and the code is the blueprint for the cell proteins; thus is set the "chicken-or-the-egg" dilemma of which came first. this is probably solved by the discovery that
a. rnas called ribozymes had enzyme functions and could have served as bothgenetic matter and enzymes.
b. reverse transcriptase can convert rna back into dna.
c. all dna and protein can be distributed evenly inside and outside the nucleus.
d. some proteins are simply assemblages of guanine, cytosine, thymine, and adenine.
e. viruses can give rise to all of the cell molecules.
