29a Watson and Crick cracked this and retired (7,4)
Must be "genetic code", but why "and retired"?

and reversed !

Don't know, but if it is "genetic code" it's factually incorrect. Watson and Crick showed that there was a code, and Crick did have a hand in cracking it, but others were far more important.

Sorry, that link is too long. Just put "cracking the genetic code" into Google.

Sorry again - my specialist subject was genetics, so I'm pedantic about it!

Thank you.

Hi StrangelyBrown I think "AND" retired = DNA = genetic code

Ginge already had it!
