Publications. Professors are required to publish regularly in refereed or peer-reviewed scholarly journals. Normally, professors in doctorate-granting programs in English and communications are expected to publish an average of two major articles in refereed journals a year or one book every five years.
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a nucleic acid that contains the genetic instructions for the development and function of living things. All known cellular life and some viruses contain DNA. The main role of DNA in the cell is the long-term storage of information. It is often compared to a blueprint, since it contains the instructions to construct other components of the cell, such as proteins and RNA molecules.
The cell's deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) contains all the genetic material of the cell, comprised of segments called genes. Each DNA gene contains the instructions for producing one specific protein. Messenger RNA is a copy of one section, or gene, of DNA. This mRNA contains triplets of nucleotides, called codons. Each of these codons represents one amino acid.
