First Sentence

It is well established that DNA has two primary functions that depend on the nucleotide sequences of specific segments of the polynucleotide chain: (1) a developmental or genie function in which genes control the phenotype of organisms by coding for proteins (through the intermediary of mRNA ) or by specifying the structure of non-informational RNA molecules like rRNA, tRNA and snRNAs; and (2) a self-reproductive function in which specific DNA segments act as binding sites for proteins involved in the replication, segregation or recombination of chromosomes or chromosome regions.
