I did say I hadn't checked all the details against a textbook :) The explanation I gave is what's taught at GCSE level, which is the exam people take here aged 15-16, and is assumed to be the basic knowledge of the population at large. (Pretty much everyone takes at least GCSE Single Science.) I have to admit I'm not altogether comfortable with the whole DNA transcription thing - it wasn't part of the syllabus when I did the subject (like the rock cycle), and it's one of those things I've had to learn since.
