- When your cell makes a protein, the info is translates from DNA with the help of RNA.
- During cell divison, the 2 strands of the DNA split and both are completed with a brand new DNA strand - no RNA here.
Maybe this sign is half of a DNA...
I find it strange that there are only a few vertical lines on the S base, two on one side and only one on the other... Maybe it shows something about the mutation
From what I remember and read a few minutes ago, when the DNA helix splits, pieces of mRNA (to get technical) attaches itself to half (it doesn't matter which) and those pieces from a chain. Then, the mRNA goes through the replication part, where it gets ... yaddyyaddyyadda.
One would be on one saide becaue it's an optical allusion from the 3d structure. However, it's the missing bonds that get me too. Perhaps it doesnt mean anything at all.
Yes, an mRNA chain is transcripted from one of the DNA strand, it goes out of the nucleus and attach the ribosomes in the citosol, where 3-base-long tRNA parts connect to the mRNA chain. The tRNA parts are connected to amino-acids, these amino-acides are interconnected and form the primary structure of a protein.
So the DNA base sequence (througout RNA base sequance) defines the properties of the synthetised protein.
While, during cell divison, when the DNA has to be doubled, it all goes inside the nucleus, there are several bidirectional starting points where the double helix loosens, enzimes connect and start to synthetise a brand nem DNA straw attached to both old lines (that's why this method is called semi-conservative duplication)
RNA can not be used, since in RNA the fourth base with adenine, guanine and citosine is uracyl instead of timine.
To get technical.
(I learn to be a biochemistry engineer...)
To get back ON:
I think there is reason for the missing bonds... It suggest that there is no base in that place. And on that pic of the computer prog or what, when "-" signs among A C G T letters show the sign... A for adenine, G for guanine, C for citosine and T for timine, maybe "-" for missing base???
Biochem! Excellent! So there are two methods of DNA replication? Who knew? Not me, apparently. That's why your first post confused me so much.
See, I was thinking there could be missing bases too, but I didn't think that was possible.
Looking at this pic though

It seems to be a DNA code and the - - - line form this pattern even though there are other instances of the - line. So perhaps the missing bases merely form this outline? Or is that what you were saying already? But this pic definately shows ACGT. I wish I would have looked closer at the pic the first time it was posted!
ONE way for DNA replicaion, and ONE way to transcript proteins from the DNA code.

Tried but you must have better English
The idea of a base missing is quite brave and large scale, but the "-" may refer to this...
Or maybe the bases are not missing, just in those places the bases are different from the 4 original...
Something like 99.9% of DNA in all humans, no matter from which part of the world, is identical, right? What if the -'s are the sequences that make up our differences?

I watched the pic carefully and found more "-"s out of the outline of the big sign...
They are single, one by itself, but there are much more, without formint shape.

I wouldn't say better English (if there was a spelling clas in high school, I wouldn't have graduated!), just making sure I understand. Because twice now I have misunderstood something you've said Perhaps I need more sleep?
There are definately other "-" outside the S shape. There are so many in fact, it's more than the fraction of DNA that would differ person to person. Perhaps aour heros are a new species?
Here is my take on the symbol. I think it is the symbol of the group that they will form, like the x symbol with the X-Men. Why else would it be on Hiro’s sword? I think HRG is actually a good guy and is trying to bring them together to form this group of superheroes.
