Hi All, I Am Looking for a bit of information, as you might note my name i am At the moment attempting to write a book, and am researching for said novel, although it is Sci-Fi/Fantasy in Genre.
I Have two seperate questions for the genetisists, (did i spell that right?)
My First Question is a little bit silly as it is taken from a video game, it is a theory expressed throughout the Assassin's Creed franchise and i am questioning whether or not it has any validity, it is called the theory of genetic memory on the game, and it says that not only are your genes used to give form, but asa basis for your learning ie. instincts, i hope i explained that right haven't played it for a little while.
My second question is about viruses or more specifically RNA and its effects on Animal and Plant DNA, i am not even sue a plant can catch a virusbut anyway, if i remember what they taught me in biology in school, RNA changes a cell and mutates DNA so that it can produce more of the RNA virus i think thats right, but anyway i am asking would it be pssible for RNA to affect DNA in a way that it mutates the cell but not to produce more of the virus or whatever it is but just that Genetic mutation on a massive scale in which the host is completely altered
Thanks very much for all your feedback i know this should have probably been psted elsewhere thanks for your time and all that jazz also.
