I. Preface

In the previous post of this series we took a look at the ~(32/35/25/6) genetic constant concerning DNA.

Today we ask and answer the same question concerning the ~(32/33/26/7) genetic constant in RNA.

II. Where Did The ~(32/33/26/7) Originate?

That is a fair question about RNA just as it was with DNA.

So, this post will answer the question again, just as the previous post did with DNA,  and will provide the exact values concerning RNA and where the RNA genetic constant "~(32/33/26/7)" originates deep in the atomic structure of many, if not all, genomes.

Let's start with the nucleotide and its atoms, and their quantities that are in BOTH DNA and RNA (just like we did with DNA):

Nucleotides(ACG), atoms, and counts in both DNA and RNA:

A: (Adenine) 15 atoms (5 carbon, 5 hydrogen, 5 nitrogen, 0 oxygen)

C: (Cytocine) 13 atoms (4 carbon, 5 hydrogen, 3 nitrogen, 1 oxygen)

G: (Guanine) 16 atoms (5 carbon, 5 hydrogen, 5 nitrogen, 1 oxygen)

44 total atoms (14 carbon, 15 hydrogen, 13 nitrogen, 2 oxygen)

Percentages:
(carbon 31.8181, hydrogen 34.0909, nitrogen 29.5455, oxygen 4.5455)

Now let's add the missing ingredient ("U") needed to make the nucleotide group complete for RNA:

Additional nucleotide(U), atoms, and count (only in RNA):
U: (Uracil) 12 atoms, (4 carbon, 4 hydrogen, 2 nitrogen, 2 oxygen)
56 total atoms (18 carbon, 19 hydrogen, 15 nitrogen, 4 oxygen)

Percentages:
(carbon 32.1429, hydrogen 33.9286, nitrogen 26.7857, oxygen 7.1429)

That is the source for the RNA (ACGU) ~(32/33/26/7) genetic constant.

It is 18, 19, 15, and 4 divided by 56 (x 100.0) which determines those percentages of those atoms in the genomes of DNA.

Here is an early test on a several hundred RNA genomes (more to come when I build-up my SQL RNA database):
