multiple initiation sites.

I speculated accuracy of replicating the DNA genome in a certain amount of time as another reason, because there is wear and tear on a protein. If you can have multiple replicating enzyme complexes (replisomes) doing just a part ...

multiple initiation sites.

... modeling or epigenetics fall into this category yet :) And could you please specify as to how multiple initiation sites actually enhance the accuracy of replication? As far as I know, intitiation sites are realted to gene expression (i.e. the starting point of transcription where data is ...

multiple initiation sites.

... reasonable amount of time. And your reason #2 could accurately describe most biological processes :wink: ! But my guess for reason #2 would be for accuracy reasons in replicating the DNA in multiple short strands with the DNA repair and DNA accuracy proofreading complexes could do a proficient ...

... applied in creationist science: They want evidence (you are right A. Montague was wrong, scientist have evidences and fact, and no proofs, but accuracy should not always go in the way of a 'bon mot'), but simply use absence of evidence as the main base for the evidence of creation... That said ...

A "fantasy" Species

... for a sci-fi series of my own, and like yourself I want to make it as realistic as possible. I would say that attention to detail and desire for accuracy are admirable, but it's probably best to focus on telling a good story and not get hung up quite so much on technical details. Impressing scientists ...
