I'm say it was the correct sequence of nucleotide chains which makes us human.<hr size="1" /></blockquote><span class='postcolor'>
Oh man, you're resurfacing headaches from my past biology class. I didn't een retain anything from it. Do nucletides have a connection to Transfer RNA or Messenger RNA? Damn it, I forget...<hr size="1" /></blockquote><span class='postcolor'>
Nucleotides are the units used to build DNA and RNA, each nucleotide has a phosphate group, a deoxyribose (or ribose) sugar and a nitrogenous base (uracil in RNA instead of Thymine). The sequence in which the nucleotides are in the chain would determine the proteins produced (after transcription and translation) thus it is our blueprint and the key to our humanity. ish |
