The number of genes in living organisms, humans, animals, flora does NOT correlate with intelligence. Some plants have many more genes than mankind. How do you explain that? One thing we can say for sure is that genes are certainly not the central focus of heredity. A...
Epigenetics, the study of ‘junk genes’, has made science realize they actually regulate the genes themselves. They are at the origin of ‘gene expression’, turning genes ‘on’ and ‘off.’ We’ve discussed how DNA has a...
Transposable elements also known as jumping genes have literally reversed our understanding of the immutable gene. We now know that genes possess the quality of ever-changing plasticity. I’m going to revisit the 98.5 percent of junk DNA that is anything but. The...
Yes, you and I are an amalgam of these billions of billions of cells working together, each with its own cell life cycle integrated into this massive functioning ‘human body’ we call life. You have roughly thirty trillion red blood cells that circuit your...
Protein Transcription and Translation … No, we’re not Writing a Book, we’re revealing the ultra-simple yet highly sophisticated way Proteins are built. Protein Transcription—A Reliable Copy The display below shows our DNA double helix separating into...
