Biochemical MOE The biochemical memory of evolution This is my big hit prediction as an expert in biochemistry. We might all have heard of short term memory and long term memory inside our brain tissue, but have we ever heard of "biochemical memory of evolution?" No, you did not, because all the speculative work beyond genetic codes, work on similarities and differences between species to understand how the DNA and the RNA produce our physical appearances. It is not a secret that some of the genetic material had been labelled as garbage-genes simply because of the absence of any empirical information on their function. Between the moment of spermatic penetration of the ovum, uniting a first somatic cell and until the moment of birth a "blue-print" is being executed to reach a state of a very special species anatomically and morphologically. Logically speaking, it is impossible for such a plan to be created at once from thin air, while the more logical approach is that such a biochemical plan have evolved, learnt along undefined long time. Crossbreeding is analogous to combining the findings of a complete research team that was working in separation. While the environment has no effect on the somatic cells'''' genetic code, the pressure placed by food, temperature and biochemical activity, does affect the biochemical picture in which the sperms and ova are produced. Only under extreme genetic stress does the genetic code gets appended to pass to the next generation by both females and males. Crossbreeding is the process in which distantly learnt genetic code is united into a single individual offspring. The extreme complexity that involves a signature composed of the number of genes, the length of each gene (amino acids) and the specific binding sites on each gene, the maternal somatic wall locks, the sequential keys being produced to fit a specific lock deciding the cellular direction of cellular cleavage, and the availability of biochemical substrates are all factors in deciding the success of giving birth to an evolved species. Notice the diversity of the specialized cell-types, each of which becomes specialized for a specific set of biochemical reactions beside some common ones. The biochemical memory of evolution is not in the DNA alone or with RNA exclusively, but a harmony of nature. A plant that feeds on insects may not evolve before insects come to be, and neither do such plants make the decision to become such a species because of the existence of insects either. Dead insects, autolysis, bacterial fermentation and other factors make a pressuring environment on such ancestor plants to modify its genes to allow for a supplementary source of amino acids, and very gradually does its species evolve into a predator to catch the living insects, kill them, digest them and nourish. According to my prediction, the scientists will discover soon that we contain a full memory of our evolution in our biochemical pool. The so called garbage DNA will turn out to be related to a secondary phase that we had to endure and survive but that was no more forming any part of the environmental pressure we fall under. When we become able to simulate our biochemical pool evolutionary memory on computers, we shall be capable of reproducing our ancestral species by bioengineering. We shall be able to decide the next evolutionary shape we would like to take. I give this revolutionary evolution another 25 years from now. |
