... a new species is produced. First the telomeres at each end of the 2 supercoiled chromosomes that fused became sticky by removal of the repeating code that forms a protective layer that makes the ends not-sticky. Then when not-sticky ends are in close enough proximity molecular forces of attraction ...

Protein encoding genes are simply regions that code for a protein, and non-protein encoding genes are regions that do not code for a protein. In E.Coli K-12, 85% of the sequence codes for proteins. ...

Does it mean that the code required to switch the development from tadpole to frog is not present in the nucleus of a frog's standard cell? Any idea in which cell part that ...
