SYNOPSIS. Comparison of RNA molecules between certain protozoa using the technic of nucleic acid hybridisation revealed that there are complementary sequences for ribosomal RNA molecules in the genomes of such cells. Furthermore the genes for ribosomal RNA have been conserved during evolution in this group of organisms. On the other hand, RNA molecules from these protozoa which can be considered to be “messengers” show little in the way of sequence relationships. By utilising the technic of hybridisation it was found that Oxytricha can compete effectively against Paramecium ribosomal RNA for Tetrahymena DNA but the ribosomal RNA sequences of the latter could not compete completely against Paramecium ribosomal RNA for Oxytricha DNA. The result is interpreted to show that different ribosomal sequences were hybridising with each of the DNA samples from Tetrahymena and Oxytricha. A general interpretation of this result in terms of ribosome evolution is presented.
