Meaning of life in DNA? - Page 2

RNA is something technical really.
Each cell has the full genetic code of the organism in its DNA which defines which proteins the cell must make.
When the cell makes a protein, it creates a small strand of RNA and sends it to the outter part of the cell.
The RNA is then decoded to make the protein.

They define the same thing (proteins) but have different functions, one to store info the other as a messenger.

So that is the difference. Really not much. So how can they tell if a child belongs to someone if only one parent is available and not the other? Especially if they both have the same blood type.

Hey now there is another question for you. If I am A- and my husband is AB- could we get a child that is A+ or B+?

Just thought that I would ask since you seem to understand this stuff better then me.

It is quite funny that you mention those blood types, as my grandsons blood type is B- and his parents are A+ and AB+. The doctors had to work to figure out if this was possible, after I questioned it and they called the labs and it is a 3 out of 100 chance. So he in return has a rare blood type with only 3.7% of the US having this blood type.

Consider that to an extent we already do this when we are given a vaccine. the gene (DNA) is innoculated into our being and therefore we will develope that immunity trait but whether or not that trait is passed on may not happen?
We continue to give some vaccinations to our children so evidently they didn't develope a genetic immunity?

"Consider that to an extent we already do this when we are given a vaccine. the gene (DNA) is innoculated into our being and therefore we will develope that immunity trait"
That's not at all what happens. The doctor injects either a weak version of the germ or a some dead bacteria. Either way, the presence of foreign bodies (germs) stimulates the body to 'find' the antidote and mass produce it. The injection is a vaccine if the antidote it stimulates also wards off another, more dangerous, bug.

Vaccines have no effect on your genes whatsoever, and therefore, do not pass on to your children.

Hmm . . if so then a clone would not contain the vaccination?

Sorry just thinking out load about another thread.

the info for that i beleive is contained in the brain

the brain?

Ah so they are contained in the brain, but are they contained in the DNA?

So you are basically saying that the clone of someone or something is exactly the same as far as DNA but will have thier own memories and things like that right?

Lynnie, wow on the blood type thing. My mom has some rare blood and it is all real interesting but I am not sure if I understand it all yet.

.

no problem I was thinking about the other thread & how ppl were going oh like a clone would have the memory of the life it was taken but I didn't say anything about it at the time.
More of a vague feeling that something was being taken for granted but I just didn't see what it was at the time.
