Deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA is a chemical that contains nitrogen and is very important for living organisms. It plays and important role in making up the genetic constitution of the cell. It is hereditary and passes from one generation to another.
DNA is double stranded helix which coils and binds to non-histone proteins to pack inside the nucleus of the cell. Every living organism contains DNA or RNA as a genetic material.
Prior to the appearance of DFTD, it was genetic variation and gene flow that were maintaining the population. Having more genetic variation and movement of genes between populations of Tasmanian Devils likely allowed them to avoid an inbreeding depression.
The answer is mRNA. Translation is the process of reading the code in mRNA in the ribosomes to make protein. The ribosome is the organelle responsible for making proteins. The mRNA is translated from the language of nucleic acids (nucleotides) to the language of proteins.
