In class, we watched the movie/documentary entitled "Cracking the Code of Life". What I find interesting is that very distinctive and rare diseases, can be caused by only one small missing nitrogen base (a letter). New technologies have been designed, and now it is faster for scientists to 'crack the code of life' or else called, identifly each DNA base, and give it a letter --- G: guanine. A: adenine, T: thymine, and C: cytosine. And imagine: just one letter out of the billions remaining, is missing, your organism may develop different types of rare diseases.
Fact: 50% of the cells in a banana, can also be found in our organisms.

Hi Roy,
ReplyDeleteGreat understanding of the movie! However, we would taste really good and our skin would be a lot more yellow if we were made of 50% banana cells. However, the movie said that we share 50% of the same DNA as a banana.
