Jacob and Monod carried this line of experimentation further, discovered that a macromolecule of DNA itself does not tell the cell what substances to manufacture. Instead, it makes a partial copy of itself, called "messenger RNA," to execute its orders. The Jacob-Monod hypothesis goes on to suggest that a second or "operator" gene, also present in the DNA, may work with the basic gene in a complex feed-back mechanism. And there may even be a third type of gene...
