Real Movie vs. Animation
Movies on the top show a C. elegans
embryo dividing from 1-cell to 4-cell stage. Their matching animations are on the bottom. Please note that the developmental timing of the real embryo (top) and the animation (bottom) does not match perfectly.

Random Worm Term
Ribonucleic acid. Linear, generally single-stranded polymer, composed of ribose nucleotides, that is synthesized by transcription of DNA or by copying of RNA. The three types of cellular RNA – mRNA, rRNA, and tRNA – play different roles in protein synthesis.
