Is there any examples of a biochemical process (and of course, the compounds associated with it) that a body‘s genetics would code for destruction of, but if it were to run in the body unnoticed, it would actually improve the body? Hope this question is clear enough, and that I am not missing...

Response much appreciated! I guess we can at the least conclude is that methylation molecules and transcription factor molecules at the least are involved somewhere within the process of gene expression together, but whether they will play this part or that part at any point or another, and what...

I may mess up this question, and this is not my strong field of knowledge. I am wanting to understand different ways of genes not expressing themselves. So far I have come across two ways this happens (perhaps there are more?) - "transcription factors that inhibit gene transcription" - "genes...

Perfect! Thank you!

Thank you everyone for your responses! Super helpful. Yes, inert gases are a good example, but only in the domain of chemical reactions, whereas I am realizing my question has to include any physical reactions or "responses", which is what I would have meant by "not notice each other". Perhaps...

This might be an odd question, or perhaps it has an obvious answer. Atoms can attract or repel one another, or they can form a bond, but is there such a thing where atoms or molecules would pass by each other and not "notice" one another, or better, not become reactive in any way, basically, no...

Incredibly helpful, thank you so much! On that note, I'm coming to a completion of a project that I have been working on for the past five years about cultures and societies, which was the primary reason that brought me here with all these "left field" questions. I am planning to include this...

Thank you for your responses! I was mainly wondering how it is that living systems haven't developed a way to "package" the "antibody making genes" in B-cells into some form of "chromosomes" and send them off to reproductive cells and "plug them in" so that the next generation organism would...

That is SUPER helpful Stephen & WWGD, thank you so much!

Hello, I am not sure if this an odd or even an ignorant question or not, but I will give it a try. I understand that the adaptive immune system "saves viral DNA" as antibodies to potentially "use" it in the future, if the antigens ever "return". I also understand that "antigens" are "virus...

This is super helpful, thank you!

Hi again, I was wondering if there is any published document that outlines the standards above that I can reference? Many thanks again!

Many thanks!

Hello, is there such a thing as a vaccine “not having any effect” on a person, and for some reason making it a “dud” for that specific person? I guess if the dose isn’t strong enough that could be the case, but is there such a thing of the person not “reacting” to those antibodies for some...

Thanks 256bits. The only way I can wrap my head around this is if the case is that cells can divide either "asymmetrically" or "symmetrically" in their lifetimes, depending on the time and conditions, which I realize is the case. In my mind was that if some bacteria consistently divided...
