The RNA World Hypothesis is one of the widely accepted theories about the origin of life on earth. The complexity of modern life is one of the most astonishing aspects of our world. The way in which DNA, RNA, and proteins work together to create this complexity is still far from our understanding. One of most perplexing aspects of modern life revolves around the question: “How did it originate?” The RNA World Hypothesis proposes that RNA’s intrinsic properties allowed it generate life on its own. Since the formulation of the RNA World Hypothesis, research and experiments have been conducted in an attempt to support it. However, there are many seemingly paradoxical and highly improbable circumstances that would need to have occurred for the hypothesis to be valid.
Why RNA?
At right is a sample image insertion. It works for any image uploaded anywhere to MicrobeWiki. The insertion code consists of:
Double brackets: [[
Filename: Ebola virus 1.jpeg
Thumbnail status: |thumb|
Pixel size: |300px|
Placement on page: |right|
Legend/credit: Electron micrograph of the Ebola Zaire virus. This was the first photo ever taken of the virus, on 10/13/1976. By Dr. F.A. Murphy, now at U.C. Davis, then at the CDC.
Closed double brackets: ]]
Other examples:
Bold
Italic
Subscript: H2O
Superscript: Fe3+
