The Cellular Office?

a: Dna polymerase ~
b: genetic fax machine

What:

"If the DNA polymerase is a genetic photocopier, an RNA polymerase is like a genetic fax machine: it produces a copy of the gene for transmission from the cell's nuclear headquarters to its cytoplasmic manufacturing facility."


Fax machines aren't as common as they used to be.
