Re: Natural selection wrong due to transmission of harmful genes

You see wrong. We have isolated gene groups that cause such mutations. First link i saw: http://www.lbl.gov/Education/ELSI/Frame ... nes-f.html Some are mistakes in protein synthesis, meiosis/mitosis etc. but you cannot deny genetic disorders. You obviously misunderstood ...

introns and exons

A- Downstrean means in the 3' direction of the gene (yrfaith is correct) Read about alternative splicing of mRNA. In short in eukaryotic genes, during mRNA synthesis not all exons are going to the final mRNA, but a selection of them. This allow more ...

How does a cell know how big it is?

... of that molecule falls below a level that would trigger the synthesis. So there'd be a some kind of feedback system for cell membrane ... size of the cell would then depend on the baseline activity of the gene for the signalling protein in question. How does that sound? I also ...
