This riddle is just downright pedantic! tongue

I didn't know that about RNA, I only knew of rRNA and tRNA until I googled RNA. But in my search of information I came across a study on tomosyn, this seems to meet your riddle and deals with the mind. So I think it might be that, also since it is a article from 2011and you said it is new.

And to all those kids sitting in class wondering why they need to know this stuff I say "because some day you will be sitting there and a person like mrpeachy will come along"

lol lol lol Soooooooooooooooooooo true!

i prefer specific big_smile
pedantic would be a riddle that has more than one answer but only one of those answers is deemed "correct"
this riddle only has one answer... its just a very specific answer

anyway, people have come very close
sector11, falldown and ansem_of_nexus have gotten 99% of the way there
do you want the answer?

VastOne · 2012-10-05 03:05:12

^ No... I would let it go.. Withthose that are close, perhaps the next series of questions will get it done.

I am good for now, I will keep trying to figure it out. It seems to me that it is a protein and it is a protein that deals with the mind, or the functions that the mind sends out to other places

it is not a protein, as proteins are the product of both transcription (DNA to RNA) and translation (RNA to Amino Acid sequence)
so proteins don't meet the requirements of the second line

Oops, getting tired and I see now where I messed up.

Genetic Code?

very closely related, the genetic code is DNA which would be the "instructions" mentioned in the riddle

VastOne · 2012-10-05 03:45:25

codon?

In researching this, I am learning a hell of a lot more than I ever did about Genetic Code and DNA...

VastOne · 2012-10-05 03:46:24

Protien?

mrpeachy · 2012-10-05 03:56:15

not a codon, or a protein... both do not satisfy line 2
codons are found on mRNA and are translated into the amino acid sequence of a protein

rRNA almost fits the bill, except ribosomes, the structures that have the biological function, are made of both rRNA and proteins

"The instruction on how to make me are often transcribed but never translated"

This means it is a non-coding RNA: a catalyst like ribozyme?

If no, then I take miRNA big_smile

mrpeachy · 2012-10-05 04:43:09

ribozyme is the correct answer!

VastOne · 2012-10-05 04:44:09

Well done Bacon!

Great riddle mrpeachy!

machinebacon · 2012-10-05 04:45:19

:blushes:

Yes, great one Peachy, and not too easy big_smile

mrpeachy · 2012-10-05 04:45:53

thank you VastOne big_smile
well done and thanks machinebacon

I would never have got that answer - never!
Excellent one mrpeachy!

I love riddles, although I am not as good as I should be.

30 white horses on a red hill, first they champ, then they stamp, then they stand still.

What am I?

dura · 2012-11-07 16:48:00

tttttt..... google is too easy when you find something confusing hmm
