This question illustrates the difficulty in origin of life questions. Even in the simplest single cell organisms these systems are highly complex. Yet they must be present for the organism to survive. For example, every organism has to reproduce and every organism has to have a digestive system...

Thank You! The book you referenced is awesome. DNA/RNA protein synthesis is spooky amazing to me.

How does the spliceosome know where to splice on the RNA strand? It will remove the introns and splice the exons together but how does it know where to slice?

Don't give in means don't do the opposite of stretch. Stretch the muscle that's cramping. Easiest example is your calf muscle. Pull your toes back to stretch your calf. If you point your toes, the cramp will get stronger as the muscle contracts more.

It works because of the golgi tendon organ. It is a proprioceptive sensory receptor organ that is at the origins and insertion of skeletal muscle fibers into the tendons of skeletal muscle. Stimulates it, resets it. Sends a signal to the brain to let the brain know the tension and position sense...

Stretch the muscle. It will stop the cramp immediately. If you flex the muscle or in other words give into the cramp it will get stronger. Calcium and/or potassium may help also. So if it's in your calf, lock your knee and pull your toes toward head. Don't point your toes. No reference. I'm a...

there are bonds between its elements (via deoxyribose and a phosphate group). I agree with this. But correct me if I'm wrong, There is no bond between the bases one the single strand that is being translated. The bases AGCT could be substituted with any other base. For instance if the sequence...

The chemical of life is DNA. The DNA molecule has no chemical bonding between CGAT molecules. It is precisely this random sequence that assembles the proteins that performs almost all the biologic functions in life. There is of course a hydrogen bond across the strand but no bond between the...
