Hypothesis there must be 64 m-RNAs

[Colin North]

I think you need to clarify what you mean by 64 varieties of mRNA. As 
far as I know mRNA is basically one form: mRNA. The sequence can vary, 
but in the end it is simply what it is. Perhaps you're referring to mRNA 
translation, where mRNA triplets are paired with complementary tRNA, and 
from this sequence a polypeptide is polymerized?

"Logic indicates that must be 64..."
I disagree. Mathematics makes it POSSIBLE that there could be 64 of 
something in a "base 4 language", but possibility does not necessarily 
dictate reality.
